Jazzbird Nights: Holly Pyle Quartet

Los Angeles-based Holly Pyle is a compulsively detail-oriented vocalist and songwriter. Her career in music thus far is marked by innovative approaches to vocal loop arranging, intense vulnerability and barrier-pushing vocal melodies in her songwriting projects, with a voice that sounds like “The smooth richness of Billie Holiday mixed with beautiful fluttering tones of Merrill Garbus” (Phoenix New Times). Holly regularly sings jazz across the West Coast and also participates in a folk rock group called Live from Laurel Canyon that travels all over the country. Most recently, Holly has created a large quantity of music-inspired abstract pen art and released an original solo alternative pop record under the name Elyp.

This show will include a collection of favorite jazz standards, rearranged contemporary selections and a few of Holly’s original compositions, performed alongside an all-star group of dynamically enigmatic musicians, Lamar Gaines (keys), Corcoran Holt, (bass) and Rob Moore (drums).
