Don't Smoke In Bed. Holly Cole Trio (sacd)

Holly Cole Trio

On Don't Smoke in Bed, Holly Cole's second album, she explores a number of styles. Ranging from pop, blues, country and a French ballad to her standard, low-key jazz, Cole demonstrates that not only does she have impeccable taste, but she has the talent to make all of the material sound convincing. On "Get Out Of Town," pianist Aaron Davis gets up while playing and places one of his hands over the piano string while continuing to play with the other. This damped-string effect is an extremely interesting counterpoint to Cole's idiosyncratic, sexy style. An longtime audiophile favorite, APO present the album in a remastering for SACD that further clarifies just what a fine recording it is.
