Polly's influences are brilliant, broad & inspired - from the poetry of Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen, to the be-bop of Charlie Parker, to the deep wails of Mahalia Jackson's gospel, to the emotional depth of Donny Hathaway, Billie Holiday & Nina Simone, the soul of Marvin Gaye, the blues of Buddy Guy & more contemporary brilliance in the sounds of Michael Jackson & D'Angelo.
