Nat King Cole - At The Sands (1966/2015) [Official Digital Download 24-bit/192kHz]

Recorded in the wee small hours in January 1960 in front of a select crowd of casino guests and other Las Vegas entertainers, this album was billed at the time as Nat King Cole's only live recording. Accompanied by a big band arranged by Dave Cavanaugh, Cole plays piano and sings standards and old favourites including "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top" and "Miss Otis Regrets".

This rare example of a Nat King Cole live recording captures one of the 20th century's greatest singers in fine voice in 1960 at the Sands, the Las Vegas headquarters of the Rat Pack. The band swings expertly through its sophisticated charts courtesy of legendary arrangers like Nelson Riddle and Dave Cavanaugh, and Cole demonstrates his command of a wide range of styles, from ballads like "I Wish You Love" and "Funny (Not Much)" to show tunes like "Thou Swell" and "Surrey with the Fringe on Top." A few bonus tracks are also featured, including a late-'50s studio recording of Duke Ellington's "In a Mellow Tone" and Cole' sniffy take on the then-still new rock & roll craze, "Mr. Cole Won't Rock & Roll".

01 - Ballerina
02 - Funny (Not Much)
03 - The Continental
