Nat King Cole Trio - Mid Fifties

You can find it here. This release is much better then 'Central Avenue Breakdown'. Cole's vocals are in fine form and the recording quality is good. He also shows off his always great jazz pianist chops, with great results.

But the reason to listen to this is the singing. There are few vocalists as instantly recognizable as Cole, and this release features 'Route 66', 'It Could Happen To You', 'I Was A Little Too Lonely', and 'Don't Let It Go To Your Head'. Everything here is worthwhile and enjoyable.

4 stars out of 5
Will I listen to it again? Definitely.
