Unforgettable Unforgettable.
A Celebration Of Nat King Cole.
This tribute to the music of the velvet-toned Cole stars some of New Zealand's hottest jazz singers and musicians performing vibrant interpretations of the best loved Cole standards. This dynamic album includes the romance and charm of signature melodies such as "Unforgettable", "Our Love Is Here To Stay" and "Almost Like Being In Love ". Jazz and blues lovers will enjoy wistful and melancholy tunes like "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Nature Boy" and "Autumn Leaves". Then there's the fun and foot-tapping excellence of the Nat King Cole Trio hits including "Hit That Jive Jack", "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and "Frim Fram Sauce" to name a few. The caliber of the performers coming together for this album makes it an "unforgettable" experience! Their license to perform the "old masters of music" has been confirmed by the applause of their stage shows, their own successful recordings, and their regular appearances on stage and screen.
