"Freddy has an impeccable sense of swing... he is, overall, the most maturely expressive male jazz singer of his generation, if not the best alive."
- The New York Times

"We should consider ourselves equally as fortunate to hear more from this jazz great with the panache of Duke Ellington and a voice like "raw silk."
- NPR

Freddy Cole is one of American popular music's most beloved performers. Like his dear friend, Tony Bennett, Cole is a true musician's musician. His legacy spans the Great American Songbook, jazz and blues with a signature vocal style and charismatic stage presence that are uniquely his own. In this release, Cole pays homage to the blues as the foundation of jazz and popular music.

On "Singing the Blues", Cole fronts a seasoned All-Star band that delivers the goods on such forgotten gems as "The Ballad of the Sad Young Men" and Steve Allen's "An Old Piano Plays the Blues." Cole's unmistakable voice and style as a storyteller always leaves you wanting more.
