5.0 out of 5 stars A Piano, a Bass, and a Voice, October 4, 2000

By 

Jose Berlin (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

A piano. A bass. A voice. It is with these three simple elements that the Holly Cole Trio formed its hauntingly stark sound. It is unfortunate that this album is not more well-known in the US as it is in Canada. It is a must-have album for fans of jazz vocals.

For those fans who have come to Holly Cole more recently, it should be noted that this album may be somewhat different than Ms. Cole's later work. The sparseness of the arrangements (accentuated by the absence of percussion) as well as the choice of material (mostly jazz standards) place Girl Talk firmly in the jazz vocal category. Contrast this with the latest Holly Cole offering, Romantically Helpless, which is a more diverse and eclectic work with definite pop overtones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth and Lovely, June 28, 2000

Holly Cole at her best, singing smooth, warm jazz. This record is full of thoughts and feelings. Simply, a lovely record about love. If you love Diana Krall's recordings, you are going to love this one. For any vocal jazz fan - a must have.

This review is from: Girl Talk (Audio CD)

This was one of the very first tapes I have ever owned. It is still one of my favorites. I love every song. Listening to this started my love of jazz music. I just bought this on CD.
