Our Take

NAT KING COLE TRIO Montreux Jazz - Zurich 1950 Review:

The year is 1950, a time of poodle skirts, drive-in movies, and Nat King Cole making ladies swoon with his velvety voice. The Montreux Jazz - Zurich 1950 album captures the essence of this golden era, as Cole and his trio deliver smooth jazz vibes that oozes sophistication.

From the opening track, "Unforgettable," Cole's vocals are like a warm hug on a cold winter's night. His piano playing is masterful, effortlessly gliding through each note with unmatched finesse. The trio's chemistry is undeniable, with each member complementing the others perfectly.

Tracks like "Mona Lisa" and "Straighten Up and Fly Right" showcase Cole's range as a performer, effortlessly switching between tender ballads and upbeat swing numbers. The live recording adds a rawness and energy that can only be captured in the moment, making you feel like you're right there in the jazz club with Cole and his band.

While the sound quality may not be up to modern standards, the charm and nostalgia of this recording more than make up for it. So sit back, pour yourself a martini, and let Nat King Cole transport you to a time when jazz reigned supreme.
