My review for Gold Coast Jazz- Freddy Cole Quartet

Gold Coast Jazz- Freddy Cole Quartet
2-12-2014

The Amaturo theater was packed at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on February 12th for the Gold Coat Jazz society’s Freddy Cole Quartet performance. The night was filled with the jazziest songs from everybody's favorites to new compositions and different spins on classics. It was a great show, I really enjoyed it!

The Freddy Cole Quartet is comprised of Elias Bailey on bass, Randy Napolean on the guitar, and Curtis Boyd on drums in addition to Freddy Cole who played the piano and sang with his wonderful, velvety voice. He captivated the entire audience. Freddy Cole is the brother of the famous Nat “King” Cole, but is truly unique.

Freddy Cole sang a song called “I'm not my brother, I'm me.” It isn't difficult to note the similarities between Nat and Freddy Cole, but there are also differences that make each of them unique and this song really hits on that point. Freddy Cole is not his brother, he is a unique singer with a remarkable voice.

As the quartet played each song you could really see how much fun they were having! Freddy Cole and the instrumentalists really love what they do, they were so into the music. My favorite song that he sang was L-O-V-E. I really like that song and he sang it so smoothly.

The Gold Coast Jazz Society society has three more great shows at the The Broward Center for the Performing Arts this season. You don't want to miss them! Student tickets are only $10- you can't beat that!
