Late Night Jazz – The Nat King Cole Songbook
Samstag, 08. Februar 2020 22.05 – 24.00 SRF 2 Kultur
Es gab wohl keinen populäreren schwarzen Entertainer vor Michael Jackson als Nat King Cole. Geboren 1919, wurde er mit seinem Trio in den frühen 1940er-Jahren als swingender Sänger und brillanter Pianist berühmt. In der zweiten Hälfte seiner Karriere bis zu seinem frühen Tod 1965 war Cole der Sweet-Sänger schlechthin. Zwei Stunden Songs, die durch Nat King Cole berühmt wurden, in Interpretationen von Sängerinnen und Musikern, die ihrem grossen Kollegen Tribut zollen. Eine Wiederholung vom 22. September 2018
