Freddy Cole

I love seeing our jazz treasures.  The years of performing and experimenting are often on display, as they were during Cole's set.  Accompanied by a bass player, drummer, and guitarist, Cole lead a very subtle, but powerful quartet, playing a number of selections from the American Songbook, as well as a tune by Sonny Boy Williamson, which reflects the influence of the blues that pervades the entire effort.  

McCann

Tonight it was vocalist Tammy McCann and guitarist Mike Allemana.  As was true back in the Seventies, you might not think that the two musicians could keep it going for two one-hour sets, but you would be very wrong.  Like Ella and Pass, and Eldridge and Peterson, tonight's performers captivated their audience.
