"From Broadway to the blues," is how 2011 Grammy-finalist Freddy Cole describes his voluminous repertoire, one of the broadest of any singer on stage today. On TALK TO ME, Freddy Cole explores an interesting program of music by the R&B great Bill Withers, a sprinkling of standards and one tune composed by his son, Lionel A. Cole. With Terell Stafford on trumpet and Harry Allen on saxophone, Freddy Cole's TALK TO ME does nothing but cement his position as one of the world's preeminent male vocalists.
