Marvelous Musicians Swing,
By Bill Baxby "Bebop Billy" (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dreamer in Me: Live at Dizzy's Club (Audio CD)
The songs are witty and soulful by turns, the guitar and sax solos by Randy Napoleon and Jerry Weldon respectively are superb, and I have never heard Cole so suave and swinging.

This review is from: The Dreamer in Me: Live at Dizzy's Club (Audio CD)
I saw Freddy Cole live many years ago and recently heard him perform on J. Lewis Telethon "I'm Making Believe".....made me want the CD. Enjoy it immensely - he has the same hoarse, throaty sound of Nat! Great selection of songs on CD and recorded recently.

MY FAVORITE FREDDIE,
By Steven H. Koenig "Music Journalist, Poet, Tea... (Brooklyn, NY, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Dreamer in Me: Live at Dizzy's Club (Audio CD)
This is my favorite Freddy Cole disc so far. Younger brother to Nat and two other Coles, he grew up in Chicago. Although this disc was cut live in New York, it has a Chicago flavor.
The performance is happily swinging, whether blatantly so, or just via the pacing of his subtle, velvety raspy voice. The quintet is exceptional, both as a jazz group and as accompanists. This is a true jazz club set, starting out well, building to peak, and concluding with a song chosen because the end of the lyric says "Goodbye." The standout track is "On The Southside of Chicago," with its warm nod to Von Freeman, and a wistful intonation reminiscent of Randy Newman: "I still hear Von Freeman blowing." The peak is reached with a sly ballad of seduction, "What Are You Afraid Of?" It's nearly spoken- the epitome of skillful phrasing- and most artful seduction of the ear. The closer, "What Now My Love?" retains its rat-packy association, complete with implied fingersnapping, but there is a delightful moment where, as Carmen MacRae would have, he spits out the "now" in a descending "What now, my love?" After this, you'll likely be tempted to search for more. Be aware that some of Freddy's records are more pop-oriented, with synth keyboards and production. Listen to sound samples before leaping.
