Freddy Cole performs "I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me"

[lymartinco]

Just found out Freddy Cole and I both graduated from The Juilliard School. Sweet!

[BigIronOnHipMan2]

Caught Freddy Cole do his thing at The Manor in WO, NJ a few yrs since, cool, very cool. Would that he could check out this song on myyspace - Wm Chas Cooke - SABRINA

[ClauPartoss]

i have a sign from he <3 2 days ago i saw Freddy in the Jazz Standard ( restaurant and jazz place) in New York.He was fantastic ! :D This is Jazz!!

[jputterman26]

Freddy is his own man. That's what all jazz musicians are!!!  God bless him for staying here with us!!!

[MaksimLevinskyMusic]

NICE! (-:

[jojobickley]

he is a great. i had the pleasure of meeting him in St. Louis, where we sang the night away together. A fantastic musician.

[consultphilip]

In my opinion he is more talented. He was nominated for a Grammy this year for best jazz vocal album. He was edged out by Esperanza Spalding which is still a win for Jazz. Please join us at the Atlanta Jazz Party in April for what is certain to be a memorable event including a reunion of Freddy Cole and Bucky Pizzarelli along with nearly twenty other living legends of jazz.

I'm sure that many people just see Freddy as the brother of Nat King Cole who is trying to be like Nat. He probably hears that all the time. That's why he wrote this song. Freddy should be known and appreciated for his own contribution to music, but unfortunately, he will always have to live in the shadows of his brother.

[Streamline09]

@tommiexander I basically agree. But it would be natural for him to leverage a bit of the association. After all, he could have let his last name remain "Coles" instead of changing it to "Cole" like Nathaniel and oldest brother Eddie. Doesn't matter now. He's his own man. BTW, his voice and approach is somewhat different from Nat's. I think we just fill in the gaps with what we want to hear and see.

[PicoRivera62]

hey! one more time,yeah!

[aaplg]

Eu o vi em Ribeirão Preto, simplesmente fantástico Freddy Cole

[YouMooks]

I am glad that there is still people in this world that still plays REAL music.

[YouMooks]

[onephotog]

@YouMooks Yes Freddie recorded this song. The album is: I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me - 2004 (re-release)

brazilian people need to know jazz and know how to listen to a great jazz man like him, hehehe not his brother !!!

[JimmyGoggin]

i saw him in Bansko, Bulgaria in the 2008 Jazz festival (August) he was superb.

[gmail1818]

He's playing in Wayne, NJ tomorrow (7/23/08). I'm gonna see it.

[nickplee]

I was in the jazz for teens program at william patterson (Wayne, NJ) during the week of the 23rd and we got a workshop with him plus free admission to the concert. He is great! Especially since I'm a piano player.

[dantemustdie24]

i need to see him live...

[dropover]

I would love to see Freddy live. So much personality. And just a little Nat (genetics). But Freddy is not his brother. His love of music shines through and he deserves all the respect in the world.

[peted127]

It was an honor to hear Mr. Cole when he was in Columbus, GA. He was GREAT! Thanks for letting me be your driver.

[freshmojito]

[ilerda31]

Montse

[Epithom]

I'm going to see him in Warsaw, Poland.

[DXCONSTA]

I saw him in Germany 2006 at a jazz festival and am since that time fascinated by Fred - now even more than by Nat. Hope he comes again.

[StrawberryMBFan]

I can't wait to see him in December. Trying to get to Chattanooga next weekend to see him, but all my friends are backing out on me...UGH!!

[BestArts]

Fred's performing in Atlanta (Spivey Hall) December 14.  I assume that's when you're seeing him...

[StrawberryMBFan]

Awesome music

[sk8rboi67]

[brittolopes]

Excellent musician. I had the opportunity to see him in a show here in Brazil about 10 years ago. Here, the great song "I Loved You" performed by him was a top hit in 1978.

[ulysses1904]

Good tune, thanks for posting that.

[itmsjim]

Awesome! I'll see him in February at the Lionel Hampton Fest...a great guy and great musician.

[MilesKuneDo]

EXCELLENT!! Freddy is FANTASTIC. What a voice, and such GREAT phrasing. One of the very best vocalists and still sounding marvelous!
