Holly Palmer who was raised near Seattle and has lived in Boston, London, Los Angeles and New York – says that she first learned music by singing, over and over, along to the Sarah Vaughan classic “Sassy’s Blues” – which Vaughan wrote with Quincy Jones – specifically, the resplendent live take from Sassy Swings The Tivoli.

For Holly Palmer, an artist who has based her life in music on staying true to her muse and remaining outside the box, it is an ecstatically freeing validation of that journey. It’s joyful and complex and fierce and undeniable. It’s the sound of her soul coming right through her voice.
