Freddy Cole’s second Telarc release features him in a variety of
jazz and Latin settings, with a stellar cast of musicians — most
notably pianist/arranger Arturo O’Farrill. Cole plays very capable
piano on five of the 11 tracks and arranges six of them.
Gravel-voiced and relentlessly laid-back, the younger brother of
Nat «King» Cole is true to form on this romantic collection of
songs, most of which aren’t too well known, with the exception of
«Invitation» and «I Concentrate on You.» The nicest surprise comes
on Antonio Carlos Jobim’s «Sem Voce,» which Cole sings in the
original Portuguese; Joe Beck plays the changes on alto guitar and
solos beautifully on acoustic. Cole’s regular band, with guitarist
Jerry Byrd, bassist Herman Burney, and drummer Curtis Boyd, splits
the program with a larger Latin ensemble that includes the likes of
O’Farrill, «Papo» Vazquez on trombone, Lou Marini on sax and flute,
and Steve Berrios on drums and Latin percussion. Even though Cole’s
voice is not «pretty» in a conventional sense, this definitely
works as turn-the-lights-down-low music. O’Farrill’s choice of
Fender Rhodes electric piano on the first and last tracks is an
inspired touch. ~ David R. Adler
