The multi-awarded and internationally acclaimed Canadian songstress Holly Cole once again presents a conceptually ambitious piece of work with a unifying theme: An intimate collection of songs for the night-time. It's a captivating cycle of songs that delivers additional proof of Holly Cole's unique mastery of song interpretation, this time featuring a theme where she is truly at home. Eleven wonderful tracks for the special time between dusk and dawn.
Supported by musicians Cole recognizes as soul mates and companions, NIGHT presents a reunion of the original Holly Cole Trio, featuring pianist Aaron Davis and bassist David Piltch along with co-producer Greg Cohen. The line-up is completed by Davide DiRenzo (drums), Johnny Johnson (horns), Greg Leisz (lap steel), Kevin Breit (guitars), Cyro Baptista (percussion) and others.
In trademark Holly Cole fashion, NIGHT crosses different corners of the musical spectrum from the first focus track, a Bond theme by John Barry (You Only Live Twice), to a Mort Shuman classic (Viva Las Vegas) to Tom Waits (Walk Away, Whistling Past The Graveyard), Jaques Brel (If You Go Away) and Gordon Lightfoot (If You Could Read My Mind). A song by late Sixties/early Seventies Canadian folk-pop duo The Poppy Family has gently found its way into the repertoire (I Thought Of You Again). All of this is complimented by an American songwriter/folk classic from the Danny OKeefe songbook (Good Time Charlies Got The Blues), a riveting version of a Captain Beefheart tune (Love Lies), a timeless pop ballad (I Only Have Eyes For You) and a wonderful new Holly Cole original Youve Got A Secret.
"When we made this recording the band and I pushed well past normal studio hours, said Holly Cole. We worked deep into the night and journeyed to unexpected and surprisingly rewarding places. We cant wait to share it."
Holly Coles recording career spans twenty-three years with nine highly acclaimed full-length studio recordings including the platinum selling hits Girl Talk (1990) and Dont Smoke In Bed - which also garnered the 1994 Juno Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album - plus the 2004 Juno Award for her album Shade for Vocal Jazz Recording Of The Year.
