(Smooth Jazz / Piano) Nicholas Cole :: Discography (2010-2015) 3CD+CDS+Bonus [MP3.192-320kbps.CBR]

Album Notes
Like so many others I started playing music in church and I still do to this day. However, I have never been limited to listening to just gospel music but rather a mixture of different types of music. Obviously my greatest inspiration has come from gospel and jazz but my mom and dad always taught me that the development of musical expression is enhanced by the exposure to a wide range of music. I'm still developing and I'm still influenced by so many artist like Richard Smallwood, Rascal Flatts, Brian Culbertson, Earth Wind and Fire, Kim Burrell and Kevin Bond. I hope you'll like what you hear and will want to hear more.
Love, Nick

This is one contemporary jazz album you can cruise with, groove with, sway with and play with. The beats are pulsating and soulful. The compositions are slick and sophisticated wrapped around melodies that compel you to keep hitting replay.

Editorial Reviews
As the title suggests, there are endless possibilities for this explosive young artist, and heads will turn and jaws drop when it is realized that he is just 18 years old and wrote and produced all of the material on this debut for the new Trippin N Rhythm Records sub label launch Cutmore Records, a developmental platform for young and emerging talent.
Prodigy might be a word to describe Cole. The maturity of his playing and his knack for crafting strong hooks and compelling melodies far transcend his young age. It's hard to imagine just how great this kid will be once he gets his legs underneath him
'Endless Possibilities' will open the door and help to usher in the next generation of stars that will help to lift contemporary instrumental music from it's stagnant background status and help to move it again to the foreground.
With assists from some of the genres finest players; Steve Cole, Steve Oliver, Tim Bowman and cameo from another emerging young talent bassist Julian Vaughn Possibilities proves that there is more than just a faint pulse in Contemporary Jazz, but that the young blood is coursing through its veins and bringing with it a new sense of excitement.
With the strength of titles like 'Between Us', 'Please Don't Say No' and 'Snap', these sides should easily find their way into a radio playlist near you and firmly establish Nicholas Cole as a first call player and producer as he takes his place as leader of the charge of generation next.

Although named ‘Generation NeXt’ the ultra cool grouping of keyboard player Nicholas Cole, sax-man Lebron, bass player Julian Vaughn and trumpeter Lin Rountree could just as easily have been dubbed the ‘Trippin' N Rhythm All-Stars’. Indeed each of these fine players have already enjoyed considerable solo success and with ‘Generation NeXt’ might well have discovered a formula to rival ‘super-groups’ such as ‘Guitars & Saxes’ and ‘The Sax Pack’. Their first foray together comes in the form of the ‘stand-alone’ single ‘Let It Ride’ that has all the easy grooving accessibility required to garner radio play far and wide.
