After Midnight feels just like an album that you should be listening too after midnight. This little delicate album gives you an early yet brilliant peek into the genius of a crooner beginning to blossom. Nat King Cole is on the mic and on the piano and is accompanied by his trio where together they get into some great soft jazz. I love all the Nat King Cole SACD AP releases and this one is no exception..
Of course Cole is the centerpiece of this album, but his trio are also amazing.....John Collins (guitar), Charlie Harris (Bass) and drummer Lee Young.
I do hear more tape hiss on this SACD than the other AP releases but that is not a deterrent just a fact of age of these vintage recordings. But make no mistake you have never heard this album so clear and so true to life....
The 50`s Mono never sounded sooooooo good...nor did Cole !
