The Kiawah Arts Council presents the Freddy Cole Quartet on Wed, November 04, 2015 – 7:30pm at the Seabrook Island House.
Ticket Release to the Public 10/21
Click here to print online tickets beginning 10/21
FREDDY COLE, a three-time Grammy nominee, is one of American popular music’s greatest performers. Like pop icon Tony Bennett, the 84-year-young Cole is a living link to the Great American Songbook. While evoking the suave stylings of Earl “Fatha” Hines and Teddy Wilson, Cole is very much his own man, whose toe-tapping forays recall the bluesy minimalism of Count Basie, the urbane sophistication of George Shearing and the uptown swagger of Duke Ellington. Cole sings up a storm, which, of course, stirs memories of his fabled older brother Nat. Actually more jazzy and swinging than his big brother at the height of his post-war celebrity, the younger Cole is an elegant cooker whose down home, after-hours intimacy draws in the audience. FREDDY COLE is an American original and a source of light to those who have the pleasure of hearing him. In addition to being a great singer, he is a fabulous pianist.
FREDDY COLE is indeed a living legend!Mr. Cole studied at the Julliard School of Music before completing a master’s degree at the New England Conservatory of Music.
“Gorgeous autumnal baritone, expressive phrasing and pitch-perfect feel for jazz standards, pop tunes and love ballads.”—People Magazine
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.”—New York Times

Chantale Gagne Quartet
featuring Steve Wilson on saxophones will perform on
Sunday, January 17, 2016 at 7:30pm at the Turtle Point Clubhouse.
Tickets available beginning Monday, October 26th Tickets are $20 and are available at www.baxtermusic.com or 843-766-8814.
Grammy-nominated musician/producer and world-renowned drummer QUENTIN BAXTER is coming to Kiawah and bringing some of his musician friends to share some fabulous music with us. The first artist on the agenda is jazz pianist CHANTALE GAGNE (www.chantalegagne.com). She will be appearing with her group, featuring Steve Wilson on saxophones. A native of Quebec, Canada, Chantale began studying music at the age of 8. At 15, the piano became her passion after hearing a Bill Evans recording. From 1997 to 1999, she studied jazz piano with James Gelfand at College Marie-Victorin in Montreal, followed by 4 years at McGill University where she received her degree in Jazz Piano Performance. In 2005, CHANTALE met famous pianist Kenny Barron and after studying with him for a short time, CHANTALE realized that, both as a pianist and composer, jazz had become her deepest calling. In recent years, she has been located in New York City and has been busy touring in Canada, U.S and Europe. Jazz Times says, “GAGNE plays with a clear, assertive touch and a balanced, intelligent sense of form.” New Issues says, “GAGNE establishes herself as a polished and more than competent Fifties- and Sixties-styled player, well-versed in the various streams of post-bop piano from Bobby Timmons to Bill Evans to, well, Kenny Barron. From JazzWax: “CHANTALE’S originals have depth and maturity and transcend her years.”
