About

 As time goes by it is increasingly evident that Nat King Cole was a peerless and unforgettable artist wherever he used his immense talent.

His velvety voice remains unsurpassable, as provide in magnificent examples such as For Sentimental Reasons and What Can I Say After I Say I’m Sorry, just two tracks picked at random from the fourteen extremely varied pieces recording during the “Kings” golden age between 1943 and 1950. The swing he puts into each syllable of every word is also unequalled, seemingly without effort…

Finally, Nat King Cole is a mighty pianist, his self-accompaniment is perfectly apt, apart from when he plays short solos which are moments of light, grace and elegance. – Claude Carriere (Liner Notes)
