“Nat King Cole, Jazz Pianist”

[ghost of miles]

Kicking off the countdown to the Nat King Cole centennial with a new Night Lights program: 

Nat King Cole, Jazz Pianist

Lots of trio sides, encounters with Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Les Paul, and Coleman Hawkins, plus selections from The Piano Style Of Nat King Cole, Penthouse Serenade, and After Midnight.

Coming up later this week: “‘The Jackie Robinson of Television’: The Nat King Cole Show.”
