Freddy Cole Quartet at Stanford Jazz Festival

Refusing to stand in the shadow of his older brother, Nat “King” Cole, Freddy Cole has distinguished himself as “the most maturely expressive male jazz singer of his generation, if not the best alive” (New York Times). Cole was playing piano at the age of five, and went on to study at Julliard and the New England Conservatory of Music.

Please join Mr. Cole and Sonny Buxton from KCSM for a pre-show talk titled "Inside Jazz: A Touch of Cole & the American Songbook", free with ticket purchase....
