1	Music Maestro Please (2007) more music like this by Freddy Cole & the Bill Charlap Trio Jazz singer Freddy Cole has accompanied himself on piano for decades, but here he turns that task over to the quite able Bill Charlap on a program of well-worn standards and a handful of lesser-known tunes. Cole's sweet, soulful, robust voice has held him in good stead over the years, and continues to retain that refined, aged yet timeless texture ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
2	Because of You (2006) more music like this by Freddy Cole Freddy Cole's voice may be a bit worn, but it is still expressive and quite effective on this CD, a tribute to Tony Bennett. Rather than re-create Bennett's greatest hits, Cole sings a few of Bennett's favorite songs in a typically straightforward manner. Houston Person's tenor is a major asset on six of the ten selections (he always seems to work ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
3	A Circle of Love (1993) more music like this by Freddy Cole Fair or unfair, Freddy Cole is destined to be compared to his late brother Nat "King" Cole. When your sibling was among the most famous pop-jazz icons of the 20th century and you sound a lot like him (although Freddy's voice is raspier), how could comparisons not be made? Nonetheless, Freddy Cole is his own man, and the excellent A Circle of ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
4	In the Name of Love (2003) more music like this by Freddy Cole There's a good reason why Freddy Cole, despite his 50-year-long career as a jazz vocalist, isn't the household word his brother Nat King Cole was -- his voice is appealing and casually soulful, but hardly as emotional, compelling, or distinctive. But that's a bit like saying Jermaine Jackson isn't as great as Michael Jackson. How could anyone ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $10.44!
5	Merry-Go-Round (2000) more music like this by Freddy Cole The colorful liner notes to this sensuous recording by the veteran vocalist and pianist make no bones about Cole's soothing, relaxing approach to standards that range from the obscure (Bill Withers' "Watching You, Watching Me") to the way too often recorded (a pleasant, smoky version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"). Cole's voice is soft like Mel ... see all copies from $3.47! new only from $10.29!
6	Waiter, Ask the Man to Play the Blues (2004) more music like this by Freddy Cole Freddy Cole may not have been as well known or quite as gifted as his brother Nat, but that doesn't mean he's not a brilliant singer and pianist. This 1964 date for Dot, with bassist Milt Hinton, Sam Taylor on tenor, Osie Johnson on drums, and alternating guitarists Barry Galbraith and Wally Richardson, is a case in point. This is Cole just ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
7	Always (1994) more music like this by Freddy Cole You have to hand it to Freddy Cole for breathing fresh air into such overdone classics as Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" and Amanda McBroom's "The Rose," originally made famous by Bette Midler. Cole, whose voice is reminiscent of his much-beloved older brother, Nat "King" Cole, even successfully tackles David Gates' "If," popularized by '70s ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
8	I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me (1990) more music like this by Freddy Cole One can sympathize with Freddie Cole's plight. The younger brother of Nat King Cole, Freddie has spent most of his life in his brother's shadow, even though Nat died in 1965. The problem is that Freddie is also a pianist/vocalist and sometimes performs similar material. In fact, the title of this CD is a bit absurd, since Cole is heard playing in ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
9	To the Ends of the Earth (1997) more music like this by Freddy Cole It's hardly a criticism of Freddy Cole to say that he sounds almost eerily like big brother Nat. They share an unmistakable vocal timbre that can only be attributed to incredibly fortunate genes. This 1997 Fantasy album is one of his best. A swinging collection of standards delivered with elegance, emotion, and a mature confidence. Few singers ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
10	Love Makes the Changes (1998) more music like this by Freddy Cole When jazz vocalist Freddy Cole sings, it's with a built-in groove that's unshakeable, with warm, honeyed tones that wrap the lyrics in velvet and set them down firmly in the pocket. Cole has one great little album here; if you thought it was impossible to produce a modern-day jazz vocal album that's not infused with endless oodles-of-noodles ... see all copies from $6.70! new only from $13.91!
11 view cover	Rio de Janeiro Blue (2001) more music like this by Freddy Cole Freddy Cole's second Telarc release features him in a variety of jazz and Latin settings, with a stellar cast of musicians -- most notably pianist/arranger Arturo O'Farrill. Cole plays very capable piano on five of the 11 tracks and arranges six of them. Gravel-voiced and relentlessly laid-back, the younger brother of Nat "King" Cole is true to ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $10.44!
12 view cover	Le Grand Freddy (1999) more music like this by Freddy Cole In the jazz world of the 1990s, tribute albums were a dime a dozen--there was such a glut of them, in fact, that when yet another young Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane or Clifford Brown clone gave us yet another Cole Porter or George Gershwin tribute, it was easy to rebel. Especially frustrating was the fact that these unimaginative "Young ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
13 view cover	After 9 Sampler (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.95!
14 view cover	Jazz for When You're in Love (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The Jazz For... compilation series from 32 Jazz is not only a tremendous marketing idea -- helping match classic music to the listener's mood and lifestyle -- but also a way to experience the timeless power of a bygone day in jazz. As might be expected for a collection centering on romance, this 13-song gathering tends to focus on the smoky, cool ... see all copies from $24.85! new only from $24.95!
15 view cover	Live at Birdland West (1992) more music like this by Freddy Cole This release from the budget Laserlight label mostly finds Freddie Cole singing a repertoire similar to his brother's, including such tunes as "Walkin' My Baby Back Home," "Send for Me" and "Ballerina," plus two originals ("He Was the King" and "I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me") that he had recorded just two years earlier for Sunnyside. What makes the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	This Is the Life (1993) more music like this by Freddy Cole Formerly issued on the Muse label and reissued on its successor, 32 Jazz, song stylist Freddy Cole finds himself in good company with producer Houston Person on tenor sax; Cecil Bridgewater; Steve Turre; and a fine rhythm section of Kenny Washington, Jerry Byrd, and Tom Hubbard. Cole provides his own piano accompaniment. Recorded in 1993, the play ... see all copies from $11.23! new only from $11.23!
17 view cover	I Want a Smile for Christmas (1994) more music like this by Freddy Cole Freddy Cole sings 11 Christmas songs on this jazz-oriented CD which mixes together old standards (such as "Jingle Bells," "White Christmas" and "Silent Night") with a few newer pieces ("I Want Aa Smile for Christmas," "Jack Frost Snow" and "Jingles, the Christmas Cat"). Pianist Cole mostly sticks to vocalizing but there is solo space for Joe Ford ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
18 view cover	This Love of Mine (2005) more music like this by Freddy Cole see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
