For the first time in New York, pianist and vocalist Freddy Cole will pay tribute to his iconic elder brother Nat “King” Cole, playing the songs Nat made famous with a drummer-less ensemble of piano, bass, and guitar -- as was Nat’s preference. This intimate and exclusive concert event marks the debut of ‘Birdland Sessions at The St. Regis New York,’ a series of intimate jazz performances presented in partnership with the landmark hotel.

Pre-fixe dinners will be available for audience members in the hotel’s Astor Court restaurant, located just outside of the Vault, before and following the show. Reservations are highly recommended and may be made by calling 212.339.6857.

About Freddy Cole: The New York Times calls Freddy Cole, “the most maturely expressive male jazz singer of his generation, if not the best alive.” People Magazine praises his, “gorgeous autumnal baritone, expressive phrasing and pitch-perfect feel for jazz standards, pop tunes and love ballads.” Uncle to Natalie Cole, brother of Nat “King” Cole, pianist and vocalist Freddy Cole doesn't apologize for sounding a little bit like his iconic elder brother. While many consider Freddy’s voice to be smokier, jazzier even, there are certain unmistakable similarities — he plays piano, sings, and performs the perfect blend of jazz and great American standards.
