Cozy Cole (October 17, 1909 – January 9, 1981) was an American jazz drummer who scored a #1 Cashbox magazine hit with the record "Topsy Part 2" (also known as "Topsy II", "Topsy 2", and so on). That song peaked at number three on Billboard Hot 100 and at number one on the R&B chart. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc. The track, which also peaked at #29 in the U.K. Singles Chart in 1958, contained a lengthy drum solo and was one of the few drum solo recordings that ever made the Billboard Hot 100. The single was issued on the tiny Brooklyn-based Love Records label. According to his bio from Billboard.com, "Cozy Cole's drumming was an essential ingredient in much of the jazz recorded during the 1930s and '40s". William Randolph Cole was born in 1909 in East Orange, New Jersey. His first music job was with Wilbur Sweatman in 1928. In 1930 he played for Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers, recording an early drum solo on "Load of Cole". He spent 1931–33 with Blanche Calloway, 1933-34 with Benny Carter, 1935-36 with Willie Bryant, 1936-38 with Stuff Smith's small combo, and 1938-42 with Cab Calloway. In 1942, he was hired by CBS Radio music director Raymond Scott as part of network radio's first mixed-race orchestra. After that, he played with Louis Armstrong's All Stars. Cole appeared in music-related films, including a brief cameo in Don't Knock the Rock. Throughout the 1960s and '70s Cole continued to perform in a variety of settings. Cole and Gene Krupa often played duets at the Metropole in New York City during the 1950s and 1960s. He died of cancer in 1981, in Columbus, Ohio. Cole is cited as an influence by many contemporary rock drummers, including Cozy Powell, who took his nickname "Cozy" from Cole. His jazz work has been cited positively by numerous music critics. Кози Коул (англ. Cozy Cole; настоящее имя Вильям Рэндольф Коул, англ. William Randolph Cole; 17 октября 1909, Ист Орэндж, Нью-Джерси, США — 31 января 1981, Колумбус, Огайо) — американский джазовый барабанщик. Один из знаменитых барабанщиков эпохи свинга. Коул оказал влияние на многих барабанщиков, в том числе Кози Пауэлла, который взял себе сценическое имя Кози именно в честь Кози Коула. Родился в 1909 году в Ист-Оранже, штат Нью-Джерси. Самостоятельно освоил ударные инструменты, приехал в Нью-Йорк, работал парикмахером в пароходстве и брал частные уроки у Чарли Брукса — барабанщика Линкольн-театра. Учась в школе, Уильям Коул принимал участие в футбольном матче. Передавая ему пас, партнёр по команде крикнул: «Эй, Коулзи, принимай!» Так у будущего барабанщика появилось прозвище, которое впоследствии уменьшилось до «Кози». Начало его карьеры барабанщика относится к 1928 году когда он начинает сотрудничать с Вилбером Свитэном. В 1930 году он играл в Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers, записав соло на ударных в песне «Load of Cole». В 1931-33 годах он играл с Blanche Calloway. Известность ему принесла игра в оркестрах Бенни Картера (1933-34), Уилли Брайанта (1935-36), Стаффа Смита (1936-38), Кэба Кэллауэя (1938-42). С последним составом записал блестящие композиции «Crescendo In Drums», «Paradiddle». В 1942 он был приглашён Рэймондом Скоттом, музыкальным директором радио CBS, в оркестр. Его сингл 1938 года «Topsy Part 2», значительную часть которого составляет соло на ударных, достиг 3-й позиции в Billboard Hot 100 и первого номера в R&B-чарте. Стремясь добиться совершенства, в 1942-45 учился в Джульярдской школе. В 1949-53 играл в звёздном составе Луи Армстронга — «Louis Armstrong’s All Stars», параллельно выступая в бродвейских театрах и записываясь со многими музыкантами свинга. В 1952 году вместе с Джином Крупой организовал в Нью-Йорке школу барабанщиков, которая просуществовала до 1973 года. Кози Коул иногда снимался в эпизодических ролях в фильмах на музыкальную тематику, например Don't Knock the Rock. В 1960-х и 1970-х годах продолжал играть с различными исполнителями. Скончался 31 января 1981 года от рака в Колумбусе, штат Огайо. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
