    I'll recommend Keep Your Soul Together to you, if you haven't heard it. Polar AC is a pretty good set of leftovers from his CTI period, too.

    I found a late 60s black/red label pressing of this at a local record shop not long ago but I passed because there was a scuff on side 2 that I could feel with my fingers. I never mind scuffs generally, but if I can feel them, no way.

    Second martini of the evening. What is it about drinking a martini and listening to great jazz that makes you feel like a king? :D

    Yeah, there’s no point in buying something that’s just not in, at the very least, very good condition.

    Great album! I just received the Analogue Productions’ hybrid SACD of this album today in the mail. Can’t wait to spin it. :)

    Indeed. I'm listening to a Rodney Crowell concert from Glasgow in 2009 at the moment. :shh:

    I got a new batch of discs from Japan today. Started with this one:

    John Williams - The John Williams Trio [EmArcy MG 36061/UCCU-9737]
    [​IMG]

    Also today (though not from the recent order from Japan):

    Keith Jarrett - A Multitude of Angels, Disc 4 (Genova, October 30, 1996) [ECM 2503 570 2530]
    [​IMG]

    And

    Michael Dessen - Between Shadow and Space [Clean Feed CF106CD]
    [​IMG]
    With Michael Dessen: trombone and electronics; Christopher Tordini: bass; Tyshawn Sorrey: percussion

    Michael Dessen - Forget the Pixel [Clean Feed CF222CD]
    [​IMG]
    With Michael Dessen: trombone and electronics; Christopher Tordini: bass; Dan Weiss: drums

    Michael Dessen - Resonating Abstractions [Clean Feed CF291]
    [​IMG]
    With Michael Dessen: trombone and electronics; Christopher Tordini: bass; Dan Weiss: drums.

    Between Shadow and Space is my favorite of the trio of Dessen albums, and by a pretty wide margin. It's a terrific album. The other two I'm still working on. They just don't have the same amount of forward momentum that Between has.

    Are there Nat Cole albums with just playing, not singing? If so which one should I get first?

    Was literally looking at this album on my shelf last night thinking that i would listen to it today. Nice surprise to see someone else in the world was having a similar thought at some stage recently. Cheers.

    After discovering Makaya McCraven's Universal beings on here, I've gone back & bought his 2015 album, In The Moment, which is also incredible. Some amazing vibes playing on there.

    Most of the great trio albums are both instrumental and vocal. And of course, most of the pre-pop singer years were also pre-album era so they're not necessarily albums in the modern sense. The Complete Capitol Transcription Sessions is one of my favorite Nat Cole Trio records -- because the trio stretches out a bit and the sound is great, but I think it's OOP on CD. It is streaming. Also streaming is the Complete Capitol Recordings of the Nat Cole Trio -- yeah, it's 16 hrs of music, but you don't need to listen to it all at once, that has the transcription dates and the record dates.

    But you pretty much can't go wrong with any of the trio recordings of the '40s, where you get not just the great Nat Cole but the astounding Oscar Moore, one of the best and most influential guitarists of the era. In the '50s, when Cole became more of a "stand-up singer," the albums are more often orchestrated pop songs. In the early '50s he made one 10" trio instrumental LP for Capitol -- Nat Cole at the Piano, and an instrumental album without the classic trio Penthouse Serenade, but after that there was only one more instrumental record, and it was with an orchestra conducted by Nelson Riddle. If you're looking for the jazziest trio stuff, the music from those '40s 78 LPs and the '46-'50 Capitol transcriptions are the best stuff. But again, some of the trio tunes were vocal, some instrumental.

    One of my favorite trio instrumental performances from the Capitol transcription recordings, not exactly stretched out but they pack a lot of music into two minutes:

    @Mugrug12, I agree with all that chervokas says above, but will add this Capitol album which was released on cd. . . . Not the "Jazziest" piano playing but showcasing Cole's style.

    I wonder how many new fans that “The scene at the Five Spot back in ‘57 was really special, but anyway this Sunday morning my daughter tells me that this child-like genius reminds her of Tim Hardin” spiel pulled in. Well, it got me to listen to Tim Hardin this morning, at least.

    I also wonder if those Brandeis and Village Gate sets might ever get a full release.

    Sure, if you're listening to it and want to share do so, and talk about it too if you wish. Refer to the first post for the thread's intent.
