Freddy Cole - Headlining this event Freddy Cole doesn't apologize for sounding like his brother, Nat "King" Cole. There are certain unmistakable similarities. He plays piano and sings and performs live with guitar and upright bass, just like Nat. Yet his voice is raspier, smokier, jazzier even. But he has emerged from the awesome shadow cast by his elder brother. In truth, his phrasing is far closer to that of Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday than that of his brother and his timing swings a little more. His vocals - suave, elegant, formidable, and articulate - are among the most respected in jazz. Cole's career continues to ascend as he has moved into the front ranks of America's homegrown art form with a style and musical sophistication all his own.

Dwight Andrews- The Reverend Dr. Dwight Andrews is Senior Minister at First Congregational Church and an Associate Professor of Music Theory at Emory University. Dr. Anderson is founder of the Atlanta Jazz Chorus and has numerous Broadway musical and film credits. He was the first Quincy Jones Visiting Professor of African American Music at Harvard University, Artistic Director of the 1998 National Black Arts Festival, and currently serves as Scholar-Artist in-Residence at the High Museum of Atlanta.
