Liner Note Author: Maria Cole.
Nat "King" Cole's contribution to jazz and popular music is indeed unforgettable. This compilation highlights the legendary crooner in three musical settings: with a small group, an orchestra (sometimes with a vocal choir added), and with a big band.
Unfortunately, this CD does not list any personnel or arrangers. This packaging oversight doesn't detract from the music though. Songs such as "It's Only a Paper Moon" are given warm readings here. On this tune, the muted trumpet solo is delightfully bluesy and it swings lightly as if floating on air. The same is true of the guitar solo, which is probably played by longtime trio mate Oscar Moore. "Avalon" is another highlight of this compilation--a burning hot big band number that features many virtuosic drum breaks. Cole's voice bursts with vivaciousness here. UNFORGETTABLE NAT KING COLE closes with the famous posthumous duet between Cole and his daughter Natalie made possible by the marvels of modern technology and supported by a dreamy string arrangement and a warm tenor saxophone solo.
