This is a truly intimate and personal acoustic Jazz album from two members of the Holly Cole Trio – David Piltch and Aaron Davis – and some of their friends – Robert Piltch, Kevin Brett & Mark Kelson.  The album was recorded ‘off the floor’ on an analog 1/2” tape recorder at 30 ips, non-Dolby, with no overdubs.  It is a wonderful spontaneous fusion of spirit.

Whether playing simply as a duo, with Davis on piano and Piltch on acoustic bass, or with the occasional friends on some tracks, their dedication to the ‘spirit of ensemble music’ is palpable.

Bassist David Piltch and pianist Aaron Davis, veterans of Holly Cole’s trio, recorded Take One, their first album together, in 1996 live off the floor with musical friends including David’s brother, the accomplished guitarist Rob Piltch, drummer Mark Kelso and fellow Holly Cole band member Kevin Breit.

Piltch and Davis composed most of these tunes, either individually or together; the album is rounded out with a Steve Earle cover, Kirsty MacColl’s Last Day of Summer and the traditional folk song Black Is the Color (Of My True Love’s Hair).

    What a wonderful acoustic jazz album this is. The songs have a compelling sound. You feel that they are playing music generated by true passion. It immediately captures you. The artists are brilliant in creating this music. It is really good.

    The album’s sound quality features great timbre depth, really beautiful detail in the mid and low range. I’m sure Hi-Fi enthusiasts will find many things to enjoy here.
