His other gigs around New York landed him a recording contract with Columbia, but the 1960 release from The Bobby Cole Trio, while well reviewed, failed to gain traction. It featured no original material from Cole, and was essentially a recorded version of his Jilly’s act—one hard to capture on LP.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJudy Garland walks into a bar . . .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1964, and after hearing Cole’s performance of and after hearing Cole’s performance of one of her favorites, Cy Coleman’s “You Fascinate Me So,” Garland invited him to become the new musical arranger for CBS’s The Judy Garland Show in Los Angeles. When that show ended, Cole returned to New York and Jilly’s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJack Lonshein, whose day job was creating covers for artists including Sarah Vaughan, Maynard Ferguson, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, (and eventually Big Brother \u0026amp; The Holding Company and The Amboy Dukes!), was a friend of Cole’s. He knew Bobby’s magic, and original songs, were what the jazz world needed. Taking things into his own hands, A Point of View was released on Lonshein’s own Concentric Records, and as can happen, no matter how well received and reviewed a record is, finding a copy was half the battle for fans. A Point of View made waves in the boroughs, was raved about in Billboard and Cash Box, and then disappeared—but became a coveted prize by those who experienced it. Artists including Freddy Cole (Nat’s brother) and Tom Jones covered material from it. \u003cbr\u003eA Point of View now returns 55 years later, fully authorized by the Estate of Bobby Cole. Produced for release by Grammy®-winner Cheryl Pawelski and lovingly remastered by Grammy®-winner Michael Graves, this new version presents the original release, plus thirteen previously unissued bonus tracks drawn from sessions likely intended for a follow up release to A Point of View that didn’t happen. A fascinating and thorough essay from Grammy®-nominated writer Randy Poe tells the story of Cole, the scene, and the music.\u003cbr\u003eAvailable on CD and Digital April 15, 2022 (with a double-LP version slated for Fall of 2022), A Point of View will be finally seen and heard, appreciated, and revered, as originally intended.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatus Quo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName of the Game Is Trouble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLover Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can't Build a Life on a Look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBut It's Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Could Hear a Pin Drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChange of Scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegy for Eve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Difference at all\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Growing Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheckerboard Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrink This Cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the Lonely Spend their Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Never Saw the Shadows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTear for Tear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen She Was in Love With Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet off Looking Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the Darkest Hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever ask the Hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChange of Scene [Alternate Take]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Rolls On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"103","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50786814853416,"sku":"81007511209","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/418466457572_1000.jpg?v=1763991465","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/cole-bobby-point-of-view-cd-1007511209","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
