The late pianist/vocalist Freddy Cole was a smooth, classy presence on the jazz scene, still traveling until Covid-19 shut down the music business. He was just as opinionated and enthusiastic about jazz as he was when he was a much younger man. Freddy passed away in June 2020. This is my 2014 conversation with him, recorded in a Shelter Island, NY restaurant where he would be performing later that night. I live in Sag Harbor, just across the water, so this was a lucky break to have him close by and willing to have a jazz inspired conversation.
