Description
Immerse yourself in the intimate, late-night jazz world of an American icon. Originally recorded in 1956, After Midnight captures Nat King Cole returning to his roots as a formidable jazz pianist and small-group leader. Moving away from big orchestral arrangements, Cole delivers smoky, stripped-down, and deeply personal performances alongside his brilliant trio and legendary guest soloists like trumpet maestro Harry "Sweets" Edison and alto saxophonist Willie Smith.
This premium 20th Century Masterworks reissue breathes new life into a timeless masterpiece. Pressed on audiophile-grade 180g transparent blue colored virgin vinyl, this edition delivers superb sound clarity and a stunning visual aesthetic for your turntable. The package includes four essential bonus tracks from the same sessions and exclusive liner notes detailing the history of these historic recordings. From the playful swing of "Route 66" to the soulful warmth of "Sweet Lorraine," this record is a definitive must-have for seasoned vinyl collectors and jazz newcomers alike.
