Nat King Cole - Live At The Blue Note Chicago (RSD 2024, 2CDs)

Incredibly rare, never-before-heard, live performances from Nat's 1953 Blue Note Chicago Residency. Includes spectacular versions of "Unforgettable," "Paper Moon," and "Route 66". Meticulously restored audio from original tapes. This is Nat's small group combo. There has never been a live release featuring this group. The recording makes the listener feel like they are literally in the club back in 1953. We have created a deluxe version of this historic recording. The sound and in particular Nat's piano playing is truly incredible!
