  3. George Cole Quintet


Cole's superbly crafted and melodically sophisticated original music reminds us of the best of George Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, and Cole Porter. His highly stylized approach, technical mastery and fast and furious guitar playing is in the tradition of Django Reinhardt. George's original music includes crooning vocals, a gift for comic gab and romantic duets with his female vocalist.

Cole's music suggests a hot sultry evening in a Parisian nightclub in the 1940's and the sophistication of a technical music master. The mix of high energy guitar playing, soaring violin flights by Julian Smedley, and propulsive "le pompe" rhythm guitar style creates a dynamic musical experience. George Cole has just returned from playing with Keely Smith at the Rrazz Room in San Francisco. He’s had sold out shows at Carnegie Hall in New York and The Freight & Salvage in Berkeley.
