Nat 'King' Cole's music is the perfect combination of romantic charm and musical imagination. Cole is famous for his great productions and pop hits like "Stardust", but he was also an accomplished and unique jazz pianist, especially in small ensembles.
The cover of "After Midnight" shows a trio, but besides Cole and his trio five other guest soloists play saxophone, trombone, trumpet, percussion and violin - the line-ups mentioned on the cover are not correct in this respect.
This LP is without a doubt one of the best records of Nat 'King' Cole, simply precious music. Among them are wonderful, intimate interpretations of Cole's favourites "Sweet Lorraine", "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" and many others. Trombonist Juan Tizol brings a wonderful version of his Afro-Cuban piece "Caravan" and Cole the fast, lively "I Know That You Know", together with violinist Stuff Smith.For anyone who wants to understand the deeper meaning of Cole's roots in jazz, this record is the perfect starting point. -
