Polly Gibbons descends from a grand tradition of jazz and blues women whose singing exudes strength, defiance and sassy wit. There are many pretenders to that throne, but Gibbons’ artistry demands attention. Gibbons possesses a raspy, lived-in tone, a walloping sense of swing and a dramatic flair that grabs the heart. Emotionally, her singing ranges from a slow burn to a bonfire; interpretively, she always rings true. In London jazz circles, Gibbons has been acquiring a growing chorus of champions since her emergence a decade ago. “Many Faces of Love” is something of a song cycle, with Polly singing about different facets of love.
"They don't come along very often, but this one's a star." - Composer Johnny Mandel
"A truly exceptional, once in a generation talent, possessing a voice of such sizzling intensity and raw emotion you could fry an egg on it." - Peter Quinn, Jazzwise Magazine
"A soulful young jazz vocalist destined to be a star!" - Time Out London

BRIVIDI SULLA SCHIENA...WHOW STANDING OVATION
Feeling some kind of way about her singing Miss Celie's Blues. I wonder if she watched the film, "The Color Purple," where the movie is taken from, so she could understand the basis of the song. Jazz is for everybody, of course, it is officially America's classical music. But more and more I see Jazz appropriated by people who make money from performing it where the musicians who created it and fostered it don't get the same type of money for the same gigs. I'm glad for this singer Polly Gibbons and she's doing quite well with her career. But I'm not totally impressed, because I can take you to any club in Harlem, New York, U.S.A., and you can hear singers even better than her. But hey, there's room for everybody's gifts, and I wish her well.

The less we include race in our discussions about jazz the better. For me it's always been the music. When questioned about why white Bill Evans was the pianist in his band Miles Davis was angry. No doubt there are singers around the world better than Polly just like there were singers better than Billie in her day. Jazz has been and should still be an art form that is color blind. I agree there is economic injustice in the world and more of it is racist than not. However, Resonance Records is a non-profit record label promoting America's only original art form. If Polly's art doesn't touch you so be it, if it does then applaud her.

@@billsnyder5275 Jazz cannot be an art form that is colourblind! As a jazz musician myself, it is my duty to know where Jazz comes from and it comes from the Black experience. It is also my duty as an educator to educate others regarding the creation of jazz and who should be getting credit for it. Black people created jazz and white people have made it so they were not credited for it. I suggest you go find a history book and read about the genesis of jazz!

It's a good song that can be song by anyone that's talented enough. Like this gal for instance.
