Jazz Prodigy Nicholas Cole

March 10 - Jazz Keyboard Prodigy - Nicholas Cole

Blending the incredible jazz gospel vibe of Jonathan Butler and Kirk Whalum and the melodic and funk sensibilities of Brian Culbertson with a dynamic and innovative keyboard style all his own, Goldsboro, North Carolina native Nicholas Cole helps usher in the next generation of contemporary jazz artists with his compelling independently released debut album A Journey of One. Showing remarkable poise, melodic invention and improvisational jazz skills for a 17-year-old musician, Nicholas self-produced the remarkable 12 track project which was executive produced by his singer/songwriter father, Leon Cole.
