Music reviews of Complete After Midnight Sessions
Music Review: "memories of the trio days ~ Nat King Cole
Rating: 5 Stars
From the vaults of Capitol and Blue Note Records, never to be forgotten tunes with Nat on the keyboard "After Midnight Sessions", digital mastering monaural...another command performance release featuring the man himself Mr. Nathaniel Adams Cole...he had a tenderness in his voice, completely flawless...he could never deliver a bad tune...his style and signature of making a song his own has never been duplicated...within this album are wonderful timeless ballads complete with romantic lyrics...all remain classics from the greatest entertainer of our time!
Entire album is a highlight with Nat's special four guests...Willie Smith on Sax, Harry "Sweets" Edison on trumpet, Stuff Smith on violin and Juan Tizol on trombone...also other personnel John Collins on guitar, Charlie Harris on bass and Lee Young on drums...recording dates were August & September of 1956 in studio A of the Capitol Tower in Hollywood...remastered by Larry Walsh at Capitol Recording Studios, outstanding job and gig.
The seventeen tracks include:
1. JUST YOU, JUST ME (Willie Smith) - fast & furious
2. SWEET LORRAINE (Harry "Sweets" Edison)- the Ultimate Cole Classic
3. SOMETIMES I'M HAPPY (Stuff Smith) - classic American standard performed by our favorite artist.
4. CARAVAN (Juan Tizol) - a Duke Ellington Classic.
5. IT'S ONLY A PAPER MOON (Harry "Sweets" Edison) - another Cole gem.
6. YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME (Willie Smith) - not as well known, but a Cole classic.
7. LONELY ONE (Juane Tizol) - in the frame of "Nature Boy", but Cole puts his signature on it.
8. DON'T LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD (Willie Smith) - novelty tune that Nat has fun with.
9. I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW (Stuff Smith) - unknown tune, but Nat makes it his own
10. BLAME IT ON MY YOUTH (Juane Tizol) - wonderful performance by Nat
11. WHEN I GROW TOO OLD TO DREAM (Stuff Smith) another gem that surfaced.
12. ROUTE 66 (Harry "Sweets" Edison) - Ultimate Cole Classic
13. WHAT IS THERE TO SAY (Juan Tizol) (previously unreleased from original recording sessions)
14. YOU CAN DEPEND ON ME (Harry "Sweets" Edison) (previously unreleased from original recording sessions)
15. I WAS A LITTLE TOO LONELY (Willie Smith) (previously unreleased from original recording sessions)
16. TWO LOVES HAVE I (Stuff Smith) (previously unreleased from original recording sessions)
17. CANDY (Harry "Sweets" Edison) (previously unreleased from original recording sessions)
Nat completely takes charge and you're in for a real treat from beginning to end...so fasten your seatbelts, cause you're in for a musical journey with all the trimmings.
This Capitol release is a compilation of past recordings that will keep you completely satisfied...tracks are mono but the sound quality is quite amazing with it's 24-Bit Digitally Remastered technology...a release to savor for many years...this is a dream come true...more selections from the greatest entertainer of our time...and still more to come later this year 2005 with a DVD package.
Nat was awarded a posthumous plaque to the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame, naming him one of the major early influences on rock 'n' roll...they'll never be another pass this way again...thank you Captiol for this release of Nat "King" Cole for the decades of music that followed...his songs will remain with us always and forever...just the way we like 'em!

Description of Complete After Midnight Sessions
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Nat "King" Cole endured more than his share of scorn and rebuke from all manner of fans and critics. He wasn't jazzy enough to satisfy many, not white enough to please the pop cultural obsession with Anglo- and Euro-American stardom. In answer to all of this, Cole simply proceeded, crooning beautifully even after he'd walked away from the piano and become primarily a vocal sensation. This 1956 collection is famous as Cole's riposte to the critique that he wasn't jazzy. The session brings several Swing Era stars on board: violinist Stuff Smith, trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, trombonist Juan Tizol, and alto saxophonist Willie Smith. The horns and violin fronted a semistandard jazz setup of guitar, drums, and percussion, along with Cole's own considerable chops on piano. As an improviser, Cole heavily influenced a generation of ivory ticklers, including Oscar Peterson and others, and here he shows himself a stellar pianist. His runs bespeak Cole's utter perfection on the keyboard. This is a crucial document. --Andrew Bartlett
