Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine. "These 1956 studio sessions made up Cole's last jazz-oriented disc, where he played piano and sang on every number, joined by several guest soloists. Cole's vocals are impeccable and swinging, while his piano alternates between providing subdued backgrounds and light solos. It's hard for any Nat King Cole fan to ignore these important sessions." - Ken Dryden, AllMusic

About the artist

Nat King Cole was a leading jazz pianist in the late 1930's. His trio of piano, guitar, & bass was emulated by many. Born on March 17, 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama, U.S.A., he gained fame with his composition "Straighten Up and Fly Right" in 1943. With his soft baritone voice, Cole became an icon recording mainstream pop material. He hosted "The Nat King Cole Show," one of the first television variety shows hosted by an African American. Cole received numerous awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990 and induction into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 1997 and Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
