HOLLY COLE — Holly (2018) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This a great album from Holly Cole. An astute choice of classic and optimistic songs, arranged in a gentle, swinging style. Cole inhabits these songs beautifully, and I'm sure they will inhabit my listening space for years to come.

HOLLY COLE TRIO - Girl Talk (1990) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

Girl Talk was recorded live to two-track using a single microphone. The liner notes state that Holly Cole's intention in doing so was to preserve the "quintessence of her live performances," and the result is dazzlingly successful. The air of intimacy between artist and listener is so great that, if anything, the feeling of being present in the moment is greater here than on the 1996 live album It Happened One Night. On an album recorded "live in concert," the ambient noises that occur when a large number of people are gathered in one place can seem discordant or inappropriate when you're listening to the CD in your car or your living room; the atmosphere can exclude rather than include you. Put on this disc, however, and you can imagine that Holly Cole is singing for you alone. It's easy to focus on Cole's emotionally compelling delivery, and at first you can be so mesmerized that you forget that the vocalist is one part of a trio. Listen more carefully, and it becomes apparent that the piano and bass accompaniments are deceptively simple -- that they are, in fact, providing a counterpoint to the sung lyrics that is almost conversational. Suddenly, these simple arrangements feel quite complex. The most entertaining song on the album may well be Cole's interpretation of the traditionally sunny and euphoric "Downtown." In her expert hands it moves from near cynicism to a guarded openness that makes this standard seem to have a range of meaning you may never have considered. by Maya Geryk

HOLLY COLE TRIO - Blame It on My Youth (1991) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

Holly Cole's debut recording is a delight. Although she infuses a variety of standards with sensuality (including "If I Were a Bell," "On the Street Where You Live," "Honeysuckle Rose" and "I'll Be Seeing You"), she is also clearly laughing at her image at the same time. Joined by pianist Aaron Davis and bassist David Piltch with guest appearances by violinist Johnny Frigo (on two songs) and bass clarinetist Robert Stevenson (for one), Cole's interpretations of the mostly veteran material are both haunting and ironic, making this a memorable and surprisingly original outing. by Scott Yanow

HOLLY COLE TRIO - Don't Smoke in Bed (1993) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

Holly Cole explores a number of styles on her second album, Don't Smoke in Bed, without overreaching her grasp. Adding 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. by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

HOLLY COLE TRIO - It Happened One Night (1996) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

It Happened One Night is a nice overview of Holly Cole and her band doing their night club act live. Containing such Cole standards as "Cry (If You Want To)" and "Que Sera Sera," this disc has all the charm of a late-night club date without the smoky atmosphere or the drunks to detract you from the pleasures of listening. Recorded on a one-night stand in Montreal, Cole and her band work their charms well indeed. by James Chrispell

HOLLY COLE - Temptation (1995) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

On her third American album, Holly Cole turned in a set of Tom Waits songs recorded with an augmented version of her trio; in addition to piano and bass, there are drums and guitar, as well as the occasional contribution from The Canadian Brass and harmonica player Howard Levy. The result puts a welcome twist on the songs, which include numbers from each stage of Waits's career, and reasserts Cole's talent as an interpreter. by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

HOLLY COLE - Dark Dear Heart (1997) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Although a few songs on Dark Dear Heart are ill-suited for Holly Cole's style -- nothing Sheryl Crow has written could translate to a cocktail jazz setting -- the album remains another solid entry in her catalog, illustrating that she is one of the best interpretative singers of the '90s. by Leo Stanley

HOLLY COLE - Baby, It's Cold Outside (2001) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

Canadian jazz vocalist Holly Cole is no stranger to Christmas albums. This 2001 offering is her third full-length holiday release, and, as on the previous albums, the gems here are plenteous. Few vocalists would attempt to cover the Vince Guaraldi classic "Christmastime is Here," but Cole's version honors the original by not being too showy or Broadway-ish. The other standout is "Never, No," previously done by fellow Canadian singer Mary Margaret O'Hara. Hole's understated approach is appropriate and charming. by AllMusic

HOLLY COLE - Shade (2003) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless


Whatever reason that stalled the ascent of Canadian vocalist Holly Cole to the pinnacle of the jazz/pop pantheon inhabited by Diana Krall and Norah Jones wasn't caused by a lack of talent. Cole is a far better vocalist than either of them; as a stylist and an interpreter, Cole's readings of Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, Oscar Hammerstein, Lerner & Loewe, Johnny Mercer, Brian Wilson, Irving Berlin, Tom Waits, and so forth are intensely original, full of emotion, suave sophistication, and an expression that lends the songs themselves timeless. In Cole's voice, no matter how old the song, it comes to the listener as a fresh bouquet of nuance, style, and sassy grace. As a result, unlike the aforementioned duo, Cole's recordings come off as honest, free of artifice or the sheen of authenticity; her covers of standards are not retro redos, but authentic interpretations. Fans of cocktail jazz and jazz atmosphere -- but not jazz -- may bristle, but to hell with them; they probably believe TV commercials too. Shade is her first studio effort in three years and is, like its predecessor, Romantically Helpless, criminally unavailable in America. For starters, Shade, an album of summer-themed and amorously warm songs, boasts a host of standards, including a stunning read of the June Christy vehicle "Something Cool," by William Barnes. Accompanied only by David Piltch's bass and the gorgeously understated pianism of Aaron Davis, Cole sweeps away the 1950s baggage that usually accompanies the tune and reads it through the Waits of Foreign Affairs vintage. The phrasing bleeds slightly, from one line to the next, slipping beneath the melody and shimmers above it, all the while with a casual and rakish elegance. Likewise on Porter's "Too Darn Hot," Cole uses a staggered faux calypso rhythm, adding drummer Mark Kelso and a three-piece horn section to the mix. Still the feel is restrained, holding back enough to create a tension that belies just how warm the weather is with great regret -- because the protagonist is cool enough to know she longs to make the atmosphere with her lover even hotter ("I'd like to sup with my baby tonight/fill the cup with my baby tonight"). Referencing the Kinsey report never sounded so erotically charged. Perhaps the most stunning track on the album is one that deserves to be a pop standard covered by every singer with her salt. Cole's read of Wilson's "God Only Knows" is a glistening jewel. As the melody states itself impressionistically, she slides between the piano, an acoustic guitar, and a just-behind-the-beat set of loped brushes to let the words drip then float from her mouth in both reflection and affirmation, as if she were whispering aloud a letter she were writing in quiet desperation. When she shifts register for the subtly delicious slide guitar break, the tune slowly cracks wide open and the singer pours her heart, with pure devotion into the end of each line. Accompanied only by Davis, "We Kiss in a Shadow" is a forbidden lover's delight, sung with a yearning that belies the song's dark origins. Cole delivers the song as a prayer for the future when all the veils will be lifted as Davis plays in the upper middle register as if he is playng a hypnotic nursery rhyme. But the album goes on to underline these themes and become a work of great longing, filled with both regret and hope. Regretful reveries and admonitions to continue in spite of the odds are underscored by a loneliness that takes pleasure in want itself. Cole's voice is expressive in the poetic of ways: she allows the song to dictate to her its meaning before she delivers it into a microphone. Check the amazing read of Rodgers & Hart's "It Never Entered My Mind," with its stunning bass solo and modern arrangement. Here is the absent conversation with an even more absent lover: "You have what I lack myself/I even have to scratch my back myself." Ultimately, Shade is a sensual masterpiece that follows 2000's Romantically Helpless with even more boldness, good humor, dynamic empathy, and emotional sensitivity, in respect to its material. Never has the summer sounded so steamy, lush, and full of love and danger as it does on Shade. by Thom Jurek
