Blue Note, 1956

Nat King Cole’s jazz vocal masterpiece gets a definitive presentation with After Midnight: The Complete Sessions, an expanded 2-LP set comprising the full recordings that the legendary singer and pianist made over four sessions at Capitol Studios in August-September 1956 with his trio of John Collins on guitar, Charlie Harris on bass, and Lee Young on drums plus featured guest soloists Willie Smith on alto saxophone, Harry “Sweets” Edison on trumpet, Stuff Smith on violin, and Juan Tizol on trombone, as well as Jack Costanza on percussion. The album managed to assimilate several elements of Cole’s unique genius into a single sublime statement showcasing his suave vocals and exquisite pianism while channeling the elegant swing of his beloved Trio into a loose, relaxed jam session with several leading lights of the jazz world. The accompanying booklet features an enlightening in-depth essay by esteemed journalist and Cole expert Will Friedwald along with rare archival photos.
