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.

Jazz At The Bistro: a place for Jazz musicians and listeners.


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.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
