Our Take

Well, well, well, what do we have here? The legendary Nat King Cole taking on The Great American Songbook? Consider me intrigued. From the smooth crooning to the timeless classics, this album is like a warm hug from your grandma's old record player.

Cole's velvet vocals are as smooth as a freshly ironed shirt, effortlessly gliding through each track with style and finesse. Whether he's belting out a jazz standard or a romantic ballad, you can't help but be captivated by his charm.

The arrangements on this album are like a fine wine, getting better with age. Each instrument shines in its own right, creating a rich tapestry of sound that perfectly complements Cole's voice. It's like being transported back to a smoky jazz club in the 1950s, where the music is as intoxicating as the cocktails.

From the swinging rhythms of "Route 66" to the heartfelt emotion of "Unforgettable," every track on this album is a gem. Nat King Cole truly is a master of his craft, and this album is a testament to his talent. So grab a glass of bourbon, dim the lights, and let the legendary Nat King Cole serenade you with The Great American Songbook. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole, the smooth crooner with a voice as velvety as a fine Bordeaux, is a music legend that needs no introduction. Hailing from Montgomery, Alabama, this suave jazz pianist turned singing sensation has been serenading audiences worldwide since the 1940s. With his impeccable timing, exquisite phrasing, and unparalleled charm, Cole has solidified his place in the pantheon of music greats. But don't let his suave demeanor fool you - this cat had some serious chops. From swinging renditions of classic standards like "Unforgettable" and "L-O-V-E" to heartbreaking ballads like "Nature Boy," Nat King Cole could do it all. His honeyed tones have the power to transport you to a smoky jazz club, sipping on a cocktail and basking in the warmth of his voice. Despite facing racism and discrimination throughout his career, Cole never let it dampen his spirits or his music. He broke barriers as one of the first African-American artists to not only cross over into the mainstream, but to thrive in it. His influence can be heard in the work of contemporary artists like Gregory Porter and Norah Jones, who continue to carry on his legacy. So pour yourself a glass of something strong, dim the lights, and let Nat King Cole's timeless music wash over you like a gentle caress. His songs are like a warm embrace on a cold night, a reminder that in this crazy world, there's always room for a little bit of love and music. And with Nat King Cole at the helm, you're in good hands.
