Nat King Cole - Penthouse Serenade - 70th Anniversary Edition [One-Step] [Mono]

Características

Just one year after Nat King Cole disbanded his trio and turned his attention to vocal pop music, he went into the studio to record Penthouse Serenade – a quiet, thoughtful instrumental album of standards that the legendary singer recorded with John Collins (guitar), Charlie Harris (bass) and Bunny Shawker (drums), with Jack Costanzo providing percussion support. Produced by Lee Gillette, the album was originally released in September 1952 as a 10-inch LP on Capitol Records. The album confirmed that Nat King Cole, despite his commercial success in the vocal genre, was still an exceptionally talented pianist. In 1955, as the 12-inch LP increasingly dominated the market, Cole recorded four more tracks with Collins, Harris and drummer Lee Young (Lester Young's brother) to release a reissue of Penthouse Serenade, now with 12 tracks – Cole's first full-length LP.
To mark the album's 70th anniversary, AudioNautes Recordings presentins a sonically impressive reissue of the 1955 Capitol Records pressing: The LP (33 RPM), which was mastered fully analog from the original tapes and was pressed on transparent 180-gram vinyl by Vinyl de Paris, definitely proves how fantastic stereophonic mono recordings can sound! Enjoy “Nat King Cole At The Piano: Penthouse Serenade” in unprecedented sound quality, but hurry! This release, is very limited and will sell out quickly!
