Description
Hilary Kole performing duets with some of the world's greatest pianists, including Hank Jones, Kenny Barron, Michel Legrand and Dave Brubeck.
Singer, composer, arranger, pianist - Hilary Kole is unusually well-rounded when compared even to the better singers working today. She utterly fits the description "she's got it all" - a catch-phrase often lobbed but seldom deserving. After the success of 'Haunted Heart', her debut small combo recording, lovingly produced by John Pizzarelli, Kole now offers 'You Are There', an album of duets that is certain to further enhance her reputation as one of today's finest singers working in jazz.
What is truly remarkable is that, despite the presence of such heavyweight partners as Hank Jones, Cedar Walton, Freddy Cole, Kenny Barron, Michel Legrand and Dave Brubeck (and the list does not end there), Hilary Kole manages to make the recording very much her own, without a weak track among this thirteen song paean to love. From the opener, "If I Had You," performed with the inimitable Hank Jones (indisputably one of the finest vocal accompanists in jazz history), to "All The Way," with the great Monty Alexander, this hour long recording is a rewarding listen, rich in detail and improving with each successive spin.
Personnel: Hilary Kole (vocals) with: Hank Jones, Cedar Walton, Freddy Cole, Kenny Barron, Dave Brubeck, Mike Renzi, Michel Legrand, Benny Green, Alan Broadbent, Steve Kuhn, Monty Alexander (piano)
