Nat King Cole – Unforgettable
Nat King Cole – Unforgettable
A richly curated collection celebrating one of the most elegant and influential voices in American music, Unforgettable traces Nat King Cole’s journey from swinging jazz pianist to timeless vocal icon.
Blending smooth balladry, sophisticated jazz trio recordings, and early rhythm-driven performances, this expansive set showcases the remarkable versatility that made Cole a crossover sensation. From the velvet warmth of the title track Unforgettable and the haunting beauty of Nature Boy to the playful energy of Route 66 and The Frim Fram Sauce, every recording highlights his effortless phrasing, impeccable timing, and unmistakable charm.
The collection also revisits the small-group jazz roots that first established Cole as a pioneering musician, featuring lively trio performances packed with swing, wit, and technical brilliance. Whether delivering romantic standards or upbeat jazz numbers, Cole’s voice remains intimate, refined, and instantly recognisable.
Both a perfect introduction and a rewarding deep dive into his catalogue, Unforgettable captures the enduring sophistication of an artist whose influence continues to shape jazz, pop, and vocal music generations later.
