Nat King Cole – After Midnight – Pure Pleasure Records 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Vinyl LP

Nat King Cole - After Midnight – Pure Pleasure Records 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Vinyl LP However, Cole is actually paired up with his trio plus five guest soloists (saxophone, trombone, trumpet, percussion and violin). The dubious credits don’t matter much though. This is precious music and, without a doubt, one of Cole’s best records. Included here are wonderful and intimate renditions of Cole favorites like’Sweet Lorraine,’ ‘(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66’ and many others. Trombonist Juan Tizol performs a beautiful version of his Afro-Cuban tune ‘Caravan,’ and Cole and violinist Stuff Smith trade some hot licks on the up-tempo ‘I Know That You Know.’ For anybody looking to understand the depth and breadth of Cole’s jazz roots, this disc is an excellent point of departure.
