"When Tori Amos emerged, writers couldn't avoid comparisons to Kate Bush, who years earlier was often compared to Joni Mitchell. Similar comparisons will no doubt ensue when writers struggle to define the unique songs and style of Jill Cohn, who sounds somewhat like all of the forementioned, but mostly like herself. She writes inventive songs like "the Trees Are Melting" which show off her big vocal and lyrical range. The album, which starts with a beautiful ballad, "Song for Terry", boasts production that is as inventive as the songs, and fine playing by various musicians and Jill herself on acoustic and electric piano. Like Tori Amos, Cohn is at her best when working her magic with the chromatic impressionistic melodies set against her complex but beautiful piano work. Haunting songs like "Thought I Heard The Rain" and "Girl Named Kate" resound long after the CD stops spinning."
Product Description
This eclectic first release from Singer/Songwriter/Pianist, Jill Cohn features outstanding production and arrangements in both band and solo settings. The CD goes from the funky Band arrangement of the "Trees are Melting" to the almost chamber-like "Thought I heard the Rain" with just Grand Piano, Voice, and Arco-Bass. Stand-outs include "Song for Terry", the frequently requested "We Know", and "Girl named Kate", a song depicting a woman's struggle with having to choose between a pregnancy and the man she loves.
