That Voice!!
Your voice is amazing! One of my favorite songs complimented with a soft mute trumpet. Excellent!!! Keep up the amazing work!! I'm so relaxed right now!! If I'm ever in your country, I would love to collaborate on a standard or two!!

Nothing funny about this valentine!
Dr Fred Cole has done it again - a classic re-invented! This tracks gives us a fresh take on this favourite Jazz Standard, with fast moving bass-line providing the rhythm, in contrast to the smooth and colourful piano chords, muted trumpet solo and cool female voice, giving new meaning to the words. Well worth a listen and share! This is good Jazz.

Poignant rework of classic standard
Clásico reworking of standard "My Funny Valentine" Thoughtful in tune rendition by young lady on vocals.I assume young because style suggests as much.Good job on Miles esque muted trumpet solo.Nice job on black and whites also

Voici une très jolie et élégante interprétation d'un classique de jazz ! tout est bien rythmé et la voix est très juste! Belle interprétation ! Le clavier pourrait être légèrement plus présent lors de la partie chantée...enfin, je crois...tout ceci n'est qu'une humble opinion... très discutable car je ne possède pas de formation particulière qui me permettent d'étayer mes propos !!!!!!

Very Nice !
I love renditions of the great all time classic songs. This version of My Funny Valentine is definitely a winner in my book. The music captures the eccense of a magical place and time when music was considered a great art. The vocals are breathtakingly beautiful. This is truly a formula of GREATNESS. I love it. 5-stars in my opinion.

A Sweet Rendition....
Wonderful control over the Entire progression. Excellent musicianship throughout the performance. The voice was well controlled very enduring and full of emotion. This performance was true to the standard, however it gave us a little more. I really appreciate the natural sound of the acoustic bass. This always gives us the essence of jazz My funny Valentine was done excellently. Doctor Fred Cole, keep up the good work. I am Stan Barnes and I approve this review.

Beautiful
I never really hear the words "Valentine" and "funny" is the same sentence so that's probably a first for me.This is a beautifully recorded piece.The vocals are really nice,well performed and recorded which combined with the feel of the piano and mute trumpet really set the tone here.Musically it is clear that this band is full of competent players who understand how a track like this should flow.This kind of musical performance is truly timeless as it will always touch ones soul with its melancholic melody and scale.Thank you doctor.I'm feeling much better after that medicine :) Great track guys !! I'll be keeping an eye out for future productions !! Jazbuntu

Hello
This is a nice song .sound to Me like a Cabaret Style..but I do not know what You will do with It..Is way to long for a Radio Play and let's face..not to many people like to hear Song over 7 min long..is possible that will be ok on Life Performance but again It is to long..Music Publishers are Very Hard to Please and for sure They will NOT listen all the way.. if I be You I will make it app 3.5 long max and after that I will try to pitch to Them..I wish You good luck with submissions.. good Job..

Tradition and Touch
A tasteful version of a well-known standard. The vocal is strong and has some emotional depth. Piano accompaniment and trumpet backgrounds round out a worthwhile offering of the classic tune. Adding a bass player would have given them a solid anchor for this outing.

Lovely valentine !!
Hello to all of you! Definitely a beautiful song with a masterful performance, in all senses. The female voice, in addition to sensual is very sweet and with all the feelin that makes it even more captivating. The execution of the piano is excellent, and the almost constant participation of the trumpet, is very pleasant. The sound of the drums is excellent and has good sound. The Bass highlights, sometimes a little more, but it's very good. the recording and mastering are very good. I congratulate you for your great work.

My Funny Valentine Review
Excellent rendition. The somber tones and jazz playing is lovely and reminiscent of a great time in music. It is delightful to listen to. Your playing is magnificent. This is one of my most favorite tunes and is surely not always done right, I have heard numerous versions with and and without vocals and very few touch my spirit like yours, I look forward to hearing more of your work and I wish you much success in all your endeavors.

Good Vocal to..I Really think that You Must send It out.. and I wish You good luck with pitching.. I Really enjoy It.. Good Job..

Dr Fred Cole
Listen to Dr Fred Cole. I love her singing! it is not only her musical expression and very rubatic singing but also excellent control long notes even in very high tones. She has a very good jazz feel and elastic sound in dynamics. I think that the trumpeter improvisation is not as good as Fred Cole's sound requires. In order to make a full review, I would need to listen to more songs, faster ones and more styles.
