Meyhouse Jazz presents The Coles: Gypsy Jazz & Holiday Swing, featuring father-son guitar virtuosos George and Valentino Cole alongside upright bassist Fred Randolph.
Rooted in the spirit of Django Reinhardt, The Coles bring original gypsy-jazz and swing compositions to life through nimble guitar interplay, lyrical melodies, and spirited improvisation. Their music is sophisticated yet welcoming, offering longtime jazz listeners and newcomers alike an evening of discovery and delight.
For this December performance, the trio will also weave in a sprinkling of beloved holiday classics—with a few familiar tunes to sing along to.
A BAMMIE Award winner and former guitarist with the David Grisman Quintet/Sextet, George Cole has sold out Freight & Salvage ten times and toured nationally with Joe Walsh. His musical story also includes six years teaching guitar to Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, before Green Day came into being.
