专辑介绍:
Nat King Cole，1917年出生於蒙哥马利，而成长於芝加哥。12岁便於教堂弹奏钢琴并演唱，1963年开始与人合作，组成自己大受欢迎的爵士三重奏。亦成为日后诸如Art Tatum、Oscar Peterson等三重奏的学习范本，影响甚远。40年代中期，Nat King Cole在卓越钢琴技巧之外拓展歌唱事业，丝绒般温暖厚实的嗓音，迅速虏获听眾的心，中慢版抒情的曲调叫人难以抗拒沉醉其中。50年初，一首Mona Lisa夺下冠军，改变Nat King Cole的一生，从此他的名声远播，跨界至流行乐领域，也奠定他伟大爵士乐歌手身份。除了歌唱事业以外，Nat King Cole更拥有个人电视节目St. Louis Blue，对当时仍嫌保守的美国人而言，在节目找不到赞助厂商的情况下，Nat King Cole的表现是黑人族的第一人，其音乐成就无庸置疑，时代意义更是永垂不朽。
鲜有人能同时扬名於两个领域，Nat King Cole一首首称霸流行榜的浪漫情歌并未使Nat King Cole忘怀自专的爵士根基。虽然Nat King Cole已於1965年因肺癌过世，享年只47岁，然而其身后追封的终身成就奖及企鹅爵士指南的推崇，还有至今早已逾5000万张的唱片销售成绩，再次证明了他对当代美国文化的贡献。在这张2000最新发行的精选辑中，收录了12首Nat King Cole在1950年至1962年间大家耳熟能详的作品，可说是将他璀璨的歌唱生涯，作了一个最佳的回顾。深长的情感，令人对这位乐坛的传奇永誌难忘。

This is a most satisfying sampling of the CAPITOL records Nat King Cole archives.
Tracks #1 - 5 are taken directly from the original lacquer session discs, so a bit of surface noise can be heard-- nothing severe, though. (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 includes two false starts! The Christmas Song and Nature Boy are the original mono versions-- superior in all respects to their later re-recordings.
Nat made stereo duplicates of all his biggest hits shortly before succumbing to lung cancer, in early 1965. His failing health was quite apparent on the newer waxing of Mona Lisa. Cole was unable to sustain the long note on the last "Lisa"-- he actually ran out of breath and choked off-- very sad. But none of that is to be found here on this sparkling original mono side.
The next several selections continue the established pattern of older monaural masters. Cuts #15 - 20 are from 3-track stereo session tapes. Prior to the first of these, Non-Dimenticar, we hear Cole receive some coaching on pronunciation of the Italian lyrics. Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days Of Summer has pre-song studio chatter, as well.
The CAPITOL COLLECTORS SERIES * NAT KING COLE is a superb gathering of King Cole classics, taken from the best sources available. Highly recommended.
