jtaylor Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Anyone here have any idea how Leon Petties came to replace Lee Young as Nat Cole's drummer in 1962? Petties seems an interesting choice for several reasons, not least of which is the direction that Cole's music took during the last few years of his life. Any thoughts as to who may have recommended him or how he came to the attention of Cole? Going from Harold Land-Red Mitchell to Nat Cole (the 1962 Cole) doesn't seem like the most natural transition, but I suppose working with Cole may have offered a little more financial stability than life in the studios and/or gigging around Southern California.
