Celebrate legend Freddy Cole’s 85th birthday. “I started playing piano at five or six,”
Freddy remembers. “Music was all around me.”
In the Chicago home of his youth,
visitors included Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Lionel Hampton. He also
credits Billy Eckstine as a major influence.
Joining in the celebration is world-renowned jazz singer, composer,
arranger and six-time GRAMMY nominee, Nnenna Freelon and a saxophonist with the
“big tenor sound,” Joel Frahm.
