Living in twilight

"The three songs that appear at the top of the program serve as a fine illustration of Pocock's varied interests and influences. First she taps into jazz bedrock, putting her own thoughtful and comfortable spin on "The Very Thought Of You"; then she looks decades ahead of that tune, painting a lush rubato introduction and settling into a swaying flow on Chick Corea's "500 Miles High"; and finally she jumps to the present with the Kendall Moore-arranged title track, a song composed by indie-folk pop duo The Weepies. The sources for the aforementioned material come from far and wide, but Pocock brings her unifying touch to all three performances. She truly has a way of making any song her own".

"Singer, songwriter and pianist Ariel Pocock has made a name for herself by taking a unique approach to the repertoire of the Great American Songbook. Songs by Cole Porter and Ray Noble are joined by interpretations of tunes by Kate McGarrigle, Adele and The Weepies, as well as her own compositions. The resulting album celebrates the art of songwriting, with tunes seasoned by Pocock's distinct piano playing and the fine work of her rhythm section-drummer Jim Doxas and bassist Adrian Vedady".
