Cole doesn't apologize for sounding like his brother, Nat "King" Cole. He plays piano and sings and performs live with guitar and upright bass, just like Nat.

In truth, his phrasing is far closer to that of Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday, and his timing swings a little more. His vocals - suave, elegant, formidable, and articulate - are among the most respected in jazz. More... Jazz Singer/Pianist
