COOL AND SWINGIN’

Featuring Richie Cole & Five By Design

From the creative minds of Five By Design comes their latest project, "COOL AND SWINGIN'" featuring alto sax legend, Richie Cole. Set in the format of a radio broadcast, the production touches upon Cole's 40 year career in music from his early days touring with Buddy Rich and Lionel Hampton to Doc Severinsen's Tonight Show Band. According to All About Jazz, Richie Cole is the "last of a breed… a fast and competitive musical gunslinger."

The collaboration runs the gamut from television's I Love Lucy and Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show Theme, to hits such as Night and Day, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy and Flying Home. Five By Design also provides listeners with a peek inside the Rogue and Jar, the Washington D.C. club where Cole was inspired to pen the classic Harold's House of Jazz and New York Afternoon.

With Five By Design's trademark vocal harmonies and Richie Cole's "take no prisoners" approach, the production is certain to garner legions of new fans. Together, Five By Design and Richie Cole are feeling the beat and keeping it COOL AND SWINGIN'.
