Review, photos and video by Dawoud Kringle
Billed as “The Sound of Jazz to Come,” it was with great interest that I ventured to NYC’s Lower East Side to attend the CD release party on this leg of the “Sight of Sound Tour” for Truculently Audacious; the band/project led by bassist/composer/performer Holly Ann Cordero.
Cordero started playing piano when she was five, bass at age 14, and guitar at 15. Her interest in all aspects of music has propelled her on a most interesting and fruitful musical journey. She claims to have been most inspired by John Cage and his idea that Life itself is music; and tries to capture that idea in her compositions.
