Sad news. Not too long ago I bought a CD 'Secret Ellington' - some archive material of Duke's that had come to light and had been specially arranged for the recording by, among others, the late guitarist Joe Beck. It's a very good CD and one of the several artists featured was Freddy Cole. One song in particular stood out for me - a song 'They Say' which Freddy sang. A challenging song and one that would be tricky to sing in a meaningful way but he sang it in such a convincing and moving manner, it made me appreciate just what a great musician he was. As a result of that encounter I looked up his background, Juilliard etc. and realised he was a top rank jazz musician both in his piano playing and singing.
