Search - Nat King Cole :: Supreme Jazz

Not really his Jazz stuff, more big band renditions

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Title is misleading as this really is not a good collection

of Nat's jazz stuff. The tacky crescendo type background vocals reminscient of the 50's musicals are on several tracks and just hurt the ears when all you want to do is listen to Nat sing.



If you want to here more of his jazz oriented music get the boxed the 3 disc set. Disc one is a great representation of the Nat King Cole playing jazz piano, the man is superb.



There are a few of tracks that would actually count as jazz tracks

"I was a little lonely and you were a little too late" definitely fits the bill.



Track 7 "It's Crazy" repeats. It appears they messed up the tracks on the burn and Track 13 is supposed to be "This can't be love" but it's track 7 again. Maybe this only happens on the standard CD layer (which is what I am listening to right now). Will check out the SACD layer and post and update later after listening that.
