Nat King Cole - After Midnight (LP)

Nat King Cole's 'After Midnight' plus 4 bonus tracks, pressed on limited edition 180g blue coloured vinyl. 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
