Framlingham’s Polly Gibbons is one of the most respected and talked about young singer/songwriters of her generation. Nominated for a BBC Jazz Award back in 2006 with no album release to her name, was an early and clear indication of just how special a singer and performer Polly’s talents. Much esteemed by her contemporaries, Polly has built a reputation as being an original and gifted voice. With warm, rich, soulful vocals and an innate blues sensibility, Polly has been likened to many of the jazz and soul greats bringing her own storytelling and earnest depth alongside unique humour and fun to performances. Having developed her craft over the past decade, Polly has performed at all the leading UK jazz clubs, international festivals and is a regular at Ronnie Scott’s performing with the All Stars. This is first UK jazz album with James Pearson, Musical Director of Ronnie Scott’s and pianist with the Ronnie Scott’s All Stars – long overdue, yet not before time, with Polly sounding more beautiful and rarer than ever. With an innate vocal versatility, Polly is much sought-after as a session, backing and featured singer and 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 and performing a song on British Soul compilation album, ‘Diggz Presents Random Soul on Random Records. Polly featured alongside such jazz luminaries as Ian Shaw, Jacqui Dankworth and Gwyneth Herbert on an album entitled The Music of BB Cooper and has spent many occasions recording and performing with renowned artist and producer Ian Shaw.

Musicians: Polly Gibbons, James Pearson, Arnie Somogyi, Sam Burgess, Chris Higginbotham and Sam ‘Jeeps’ Roan
