Freddy Cole Wows Jazz At The Bistro
Claudio Cobos

Jazz At The Bistro is one of the many popular Jazz music rooms and one of the most culturally diverse places in St. Louis. It is a popular place for many concerts by famous musicians. Some them are already famous, and some of them got their start to fame here. Jazz at the Bistro has helped many musicians start their careers by letting them play here.

This particular event was played none other than the talented Freddy Cole. He is a recognized
vocalist and pianist who has influenced musicians with his music over the last 50 years. He is one of the best of his generation, and since he came from a family of musicians like his brothers Nat King Cole
and Ike Cole, it is not surprising. According to the New York Times, “Freddy has an impeccable sense of swing… he is, overall, the most maturely expressive male jazz singer of his generation, if not the best alive.”

His music is fantastic and his style of singing is unique, and that is the best way to describe a legend of
Jazz. In his own way, he sings like he is telling a story with a sweet tone, smooth lyrics and a sense of relaxation. Listening to his music at Jazz At The Bistro was like being in a different world, like his music just knocked me out by the way he was singing and the tone of his piano. Many artists have been influenced by his music such as Nancy Wilson, Jon di Martino, Monty Alexander as well as others.

It is not surprising the place filled up given a Jazz legend was playing.


The great tunes of the saxophone made it possible to engage the audience.


You can feel the deep concentration of the public listening to Freddy.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
