Nat King Cole - A Consistent Compilation?



Even though I'm more intrested in his stuff during the War era, I think I'm ready to explore the King's music nod

Know a good start?

I knew you'd eventually come around, your ears are too good. wink


Unfortunately this great box set by Mosaic (who always does things proper) is out of print...



...The Complete Capitol Recordings of the Nat King Cole Trio (18 CDs or 27 LPs)

It originally sold for a little less than $300. This set has sold for $900-$600 on ebay auctions.


Returning to reality, this one is OK and available...



...The World of Nat King Cole

28 tracks. The only downside is that The Christmas Song isn't on it.


I have one of the Capitol comps that's pretty decent but can't find it at the moment. confused
I'll let you know when I do.



Music for adventurous listeners

Thank you guys hug

When I saw this performance...


Being posted in some blog, I knew I had to rethink my judgement of his music(even though I'm ALREADY a big fan of his piano solo recordings).

That's the one I'd recommend. It should be available just about anywhere. Speaking of which, "The Christmas Song" is on at least a million compilations, so that's not a big deal IMO.
