Polly Gibbons is one of the most
respected & talked about young singer/songwriters of her generation. Being
nominated for a BBC Jazz Award back in 2006, with no album release to her name,
was a clear indication of just how special a singer & performer Polly is.
Much esteemed by her contemporaries, Polly has built a reputation as having an
original & gifted voice. With warm, rich, soulful vocals & an innate
blues sensibility, Polly has been likened to many of the jazz & soul
greats, while bringing her own storytelling & earnest depth, alongside
unique humor & fun, to performances. Having developed her craft over the
past decade, Polly has performed at all the leading UK jazz clubs,
international festivals & is a regular at London's Ronnie Scott's,
performing with the All Stars.
Polly's
influences are brilliant, broad & inspired - from the poetry of Joni
Mitchell & Leonard Cohen, to the be-bop of Charlie Parker, to the deep
wails of Mahalia Jackson's gospel, to the emotional depth of Donny Hathaway,
Billie Holiday & Nina Simone, the soul of Marvin Gaye, the blues of Buddy
Guy & more contemporary brilliance in the sounds of Michael Jackson &
D'Angelo.
With an innate vocal versatility, Polly Gibbons is much sought-after as
a session, back-up & featured singer & has been invited to record on various
projects including a track with hip hop group Vinyl Dialect, on Wall of Sound's
Bad Magic label, also co-writing & performing a song on the British Soul
compilation album, 'Diggz Presents Random Soul on Random Records. Polly
is featured alongside such jazz luminaries as Ian Shaw, Jacqui Dankworth &
Gwyneth Herbert on an album entitled The Music of BB Cooper & has
spent many occasions recording & performing with renowned artist &
producer, Ian Shaw.
