Nat King Cole - Saga Jazz: The Pianist (2003)

We all know the velvet of his voice, but it’s almost been forgotten that Nat King Cole was also an awesome pianist whose influence was felt for years, not only by Oscar Peterson, his most direct disciple, but also by those who took their turn in changing the course of the instrument’s history, from Ahmad Jamal to Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Red Garland… A delicious touch, implacable swing and a dread of clichés were just some of the secrets of the “King”.
