About the album

Diese CD ist ein absoluter Solitär. Weder davor noch nachher haben Quincy Jones und Nat ‘King’ Cole je wieder gemeinsame Konzerte oder Aufnahmen gemacht. Anlässlich einer JATP Europa Tour im 1960 mit Nat ‚King‘ Cole hat der Promoter Norman Granz gehört, dass Quincy und seine Big Band in Paris gestrandet waren, wo die Musikshow ‚Free and Easy‘ wegen Zuschauermangel abgesetzt wurde.
So kam am 1. Mai 60 dieser grossartige Moment zustande, den das Schweizer Radio damals mitgeschnitten hatte. Als Bonus wurde ein Studio Interview zwischen Nat ‚King‘ Cole und dem Radiomann Lance Tschannen (in Englisch) als Titel Nr 17 in diese CD einbezogen. Tschannen unterhält sich mit Cole über Jazz und Musik und das Musikgeschäft und was Cole damals darüber sagte, hat auch heute noch Gültigkeit. Eine Trouvaille.

Nat 'King' Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American singer who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He was widely noted for his soft baritone voice, performing in big band and jazz genres, and was a major force in popular music for three decades. Cole was one of the first African Americans to host a national television variety show, The Nat King Cole Show. His recordings remained popular worldwide after his death from lung cancer in February 1965. (Source: Wikipedia)
