Freddy Cole - Music Maestro Please - Jazz - CD

Classical and jazz-trained vocalist/pianist Freddy Cole's latest CD continues his family's rich musical dynasty which includes his brother, icon Nat 'King' Cole and Grammy Award winning niece, Natalie. The great pianist, Bill Charlap plays the role of musical partner rather than respectful accompanist as he and Freddy join in a meeting of the minds. Charlap and the rhythm section seem to revel in the chance to fill out the mood that Freddy establishes and it's evident that all those involved had fun while they recorded it - which creates a best-of-all-worlds situation.
