Daily Dose Of Jazz…
Naomi Taylor was born January 2, 1967 in Nassau, Bahamas and was the last of four girls born to missionary parents. Absorbed in gospel and classical music before she was able to talk at the tender age of six, her musical talents surfaced when she and her sisters performed as an “a cappella” quartet. Her rich alto/tenor blend and her ability to harmonize at such a young age came as a pleasant surprise to many. She discovered that she was able to pick up just about any musical instrument for the first time and play away, even though she was never taught.
With her musical talents growing, Naomi spent countless hours listening to singing quartets, captivated by the close harmony and often adding her own creative synchronization to compliment a tune. Her early singing career encompassed performances with various local choirs and musical groups, including The Bahamas National Youth Choir, the Renaissance Singers and Bel Canto.
She developed her musical talent under the mentorship of Mr. Cleophas Adderley. Though very talented, she shied away from solo performances, opting for singing within the security of a line-up or choir. Taylor sought out private lessons from pianist and vocal coach Lee Callender. This serendipitous meeting, then catapulted her into the world of jazz by reconnecting with bassist and bandleader Adrian D’Aguilar.
In 2008 she released her first recording The Other Side of Love, a compilation of warm and beautiful jazz standards. The recording features pianist Lou Rainone, saxophonist Ralph Munnings, percussionist Neil Symonette, bassist Adrian D’Aguilar and composer/guitarist Fred Ferguson.
Today, vocalist Naomi Taylor’s committed to jazz has her performing with Lee Calendar or Jazz Etcetera at the Oyster Bar in Nassau.

Holly Cole was born November 25, 1963 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to a noted radio broadcasting father on the CBC Stereo network. Seeking a musical career, in 1983 she travelled to Toronto, Canada and three years later she founded a trio with bassist David Piltch and pianist Aaron Davis. It took two more years to get offered a record deal and in 1989 the Holly Cole Trio released an EP, Christmas Blues. The following year she released her debut album Girl Talk.
A succession of releases followed through the early 1990s covering r&b, blues, rock, country and show tunes with a jazz arrangement. In 1993 Holly’s hit single cover version of the Johnny Nash song I Can See Clearly Now earned a Juno Award nomination for Best Video and won a Juno Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album, in 1994.
During the Nineties decade she appeared in film and television, releasing a track on the soundtrack of the Due South series. From 1993 to 1998 she recorded and released an album a year, took a break from recording, coming back in 2000 and recorded four more albums until 2007. In 2010, Cole contributed a track for the World Jazz For Haiti charity album.
In 2012 she got her original band back together again, added John Johnson on horns, guitarist Rob Piltch, Davide DiRenzo on drums and recorded a live album and dvd. She has been featured in several music specials which have rendered her multiple awards.
Vocalist Holly Cole, who has released 17 albums and received an honorary degree from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, continues to perform and record.
