A definitive collection of mid-century vocal jazz, where velvet baritone meets lush orchestral arrangements for the ultimate late-night romantic atmosphere.
1993 · Thomsun Original
Listening to this compilation is like stepping into a high-end lounge in 1955, where the air is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the soft clinking of crystal. Nat King Cole possesses a voice that is often described as velvet, but that does not quite capture the structural integrity of his phrasing. Every word is articulated with a gentle precision that makes the listener feel as though they are the only person in the room. The arrangements are grand yet never intrusive, using strings and woodwinds to create a soft cushion for his baritone to rest upon.

Romantic saturates this record a touch more than the artist's norm.
