Freddy Cole Sings the Great American Songbook at the RRazz Room
- Full Price:
- $40.00
- Our Price:
- $20.00
Just in time for Valentine's Day, spend an evening with Lionel Frederick "Freddy" Cole, the youngest brother of Nat "King" Cole. There are certain unmistakable similarities between the brothers' voices and, just like Nat, Freddy plays piano and sings, yet his voice is raspier, smokier and perhaps even jazzier. Freddy Cole is a nonpareil vocal interpreter of the Great American Songbook and a superbly swinging pianist to boot. Head out to the RRazz Room with your sweetheart for a concert to remember.

We almost thought we wouldn't get into the club and got about the last 2 seats in the house. Dick Gregory's mind doesn't work like everyone elses and it was fantastic. We left a little bit into Mort Sahl: he was funny but it was a very different, Johnny Carson style, of humor and we were tired.Written on Jul 23 2009

These two legendary humorists did not disappoint! I had thought that the evening would have Gregory and Sahl in conversation together, but it turned out to be two separate acts. Some of the jokes were oldies, but overall the acts of these two senior comics seemed fresh, timely, and masterfully delivered.Written on Jul 22 2009
