Temptation. Holly Cole (sacd)

Holly Cole

Over the past decade, new talents such as Cassandra Wilson, Patricia Barber and Holly Cole have redefined the world of female jazz vocals. Offered here in a SACD remastering by APO, Cole's Temptation, a 1995 Blue Note release, is the artist's musical tribute to the writings of Tom Waits. This record sounds incredibly spontaneous <0x2014> many of the cuts are first takes, some done just after a dinner and drinks when everyone was relaxed. Standouts include a catchy version of "Jersey Girl," which made it onto a number of radio playlists, and a rendition of "The Briar and the Rose," augmented by the Canadian Brass.
