Freddy Cole - Freddy Cole Sings Mr. B

Vocalist Freddy Cole often cites the great Billy Eckstine as a major influence on his style and performing the repertoire of the older singer on this wonderful CD has inspired him to some of his best work. With Houston Person augmenting his regular band and Freddy's autumnal baritone, expressive phrasing and insightful way with a lyric out in front, these performers are the perfect choice for these songs forever associated with "Mr. B," Billy Eckstine.
