54 Años Sin Nat King Cole https://valencianews.es 54 años sin Nat King Cole Author : Esteban Rodrigo Date : 17-03-2019 Nathaniel Adams Coles (Montgomery (Alabama), Estados Unidos, 17 de marzo de 1919-Santa Mónica (California), 15 de febrerode 1965), más conocido como Nat "King" Cole, fue un pianista y cantante estadounidense de jazz. Su padre Edward Coles era carnicero y diácono en la Iglesia Bautista. Su familia se trasladó a Chicago cuando Nat era todavía un niño. Allí, su padre se convirtió en ministro de la iglesia y su madre, Perlina Adams, era la encargada de tocar el órgano de la iglesia. Fue la única maestra de piano que tuvo Nat en toda su vida. Aprendió tanto jazz como música góspel, sin olvidar la música clásica. La familia vivía en el barrio de Bronzeville, famoso a finales de los años 20 por su vida nocturna y sus clubes de jazz. Nat visitó con frecuencia estos locales, escuchando a artistas como Louis Armstrong o Earl Hines. Inspirado por Hines, Nat inició su carrera artística a mediados de la década de los 30 cuando aún era un adolescente. Adoptó el nombre de Nat Cole, abandonando la "s" de su apellido familiar. Su hermano mayor, Eddie, bajista, se unió a la banda de Nat cuando éste realizó su primera grabación en 1936. Tuvieron un cierto éxito como banda local en Chicago y se convirtieron en habituales en los escenarios de los clubes. De hecho, el sobrenombre de "King" (rey) se lo dieron a Nat en uno de estos locales. Cole participó también como pianista en una gira junto a Eubie Blake. Cuando la gira llegó a Long Beach (California), Nat decidió establecerse allí. Los Ángeles y el King Cole Trio Nat Cole junto con otros tres músicos formaron el grupo "King Cole Swingers" con el que actuaron en numerosos locales. Nat se casó con Nadine Robinson y se trasladó a Los Ángeles donde formó el "Nat King Cole Trio". El trío estaba compuesto por Nat al piano, Oscar Moore a la guitarra y Wesley Prince al Bajo. El trío actuó en Los Ángeles desde finales de los 30 y participó también en numerosos 1 / 5 https://valencianews.es programas de radio. A Cole se le consideraba un pianista de jazz brillante. Apareció, por ejemplo, en los primeros conciertos de "Jazz at the Philharmonic" (JATP). Un grupo compuesto únicamente por piano, guitarra y bajo en la época de las grandes bandas significó una auténtica revolución e impuso un estilo que más tarde imitarían otros grandes del jazz y del blues como James Brown y Ray Charles. Cole actuó también como pianista acompañante de artistas de la categoría de Lionel Hampton. Sin embargo, Cole no consiguió llegar al gran público hasta "Sweet Lorraine" en 1940. Aunque había cantado diversas baladas con el trío, se avergonzaba de su voz y jamás se consideró un buen cantante. A principios de los años 40, el King Cole Trio firmó un contrato con la discográfica Capitol Records con la que continuó durante el resto de su carrera. En la década de los 50, la popularidad de Cole era tanta que el edificio de la Capitol Records era conocido como "la casa que construyó Nat". Nat King Cole al piano con su trio 2 / 5 https://valencianews.es Carrera como cantante Su primer éxito como cantante lo obtuvo con "Straighten Up and Fly Right", basada en una leyenda afroamericana que su padre había utilizado como tema para sus sermones. Se considera que esta canción es la predecesora de las primera grabaciones de rock and roll. Cole alcanzó el número uno de ventas en 1950 con la canción «Mona Lisa». A partir de ese momento se inició una nueva etapa en su carrera, y se convirtió principalmente en cantante de baladas aunque no olvidó sus raíces en el jazz lo que no evitó que algunos críticos le acusaran de "haberse vendido" a la música comercial. Nat King Cole se convirtió en el primer afroamericano en tener un programa de radio propio y en 1950 repitió la proeza, esta vez en un programa de televisión. Cole luchó durante toda su vida contra el racismo y se negó a actuar en los lugares en los que se practicaba la segregación racial. En 1956, mientras actuaba en Alabama, sufrió un ataque por miembros del "Consejo de ciudadanos blancos" que pretendían secuestrarlo. A pesar de que sufrió diversas heridas completó la actuación, en la que anunció que sería su última actuación en el sur. Se casó por segunda vez con Maria Ellington, con la que tuvo cinco hijos, dos de ellos adoptados. Su hija Natalie Cole (1950-2015) fue también cantante. Cole, fumador empedernido, falleció de cáncer de pulmón en 1965. En julio de 2003 musicólogos británicos encontraron importantes similitudes en la letra y los esquemas rítmicos de "Yesterday" y la canción "Answer Me" de Nat King Cole, lo que dio lugar a especulaciones de que McCartney había sido influido por esa canción.? Otros afirmaron que McCartney podría haberse basado inconscientemente en la versión de Ray Charles de "Georgia On My Mind". Nat King Cole en español En 1958, Nat "King" Cole extendió aún más su popularidad mundial a los países hispanohablantes al grabar algunas de sus interpretaciones en español. Para ello, en estudios de La Habana (hoy pertenecientes a la discográfica cubana EGREM) y de México, grabó su primer LP en este idioma, titulado Cole Español haciéndose acompañar por la orquesta de Armando Roméu hijo y de un conjunto de mariachis, algo sorprendente en un artista proveniente del jazz. Este álbum le reportó tanto éxito, por haber interpretado canciones mexicanas, que comenzaron a llegarle contratos para actuar en tales países. En este sentido, es de destacar que cuando Cole actuó en Caracas, en ese mismo año, contratado por el presentador de TV Renny Ottolina el cantante le preguntó por las canciones venezolanas más populares. 3 / 5 https://valencianews.es El presentador respondió que el famoso vals venezolano Ansiedad (compuesto por José Enrique "Chelique" Sarabia) era una de ellas. Así pues, con la ayuda de Ottolina y de Sarabia, Nat "King" Cole aprendió frase por frase este tema, ya que no sabía hablar español y carecía de habilidades para aprender idiomas. Finalmente, este tema fue incluido en su siguiente álbum en español y portugués A Mis Amigos (1959). Este ciclo se cierra, con su última grabación en español titulada More Cole Español (1962).

Although freely improvised, the music of Pocket Aces is consciously compositional, given to bouts of form, groove, and crafty melodies. Distillation of ideas with a premium on space and tone provides a strong coherence as the trio navigates the familiar and unfamiliar.

There’s a non-hierarchal notion of the ensemble in this project, an ideal of equality and a selfless determination built into every musical inclination, as they unabashedly swing at the intersection between the clarity and control of bop and the brash freedom of the avant-garde.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • The Chronicle
    THE CHRONICLE ROSEBUD RETIREMENT VILLAGE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER JULY 2018 One for all you girls in the Village Clint Eastwood in 1962 about the time he was playing Rowdy Yates in Rawhide Message from Deb – July 2018 It was with much pleasure that we welcomed two new Residents to our Village in June. We send a very warm welcome to Eleanor Ashton and Margot O’Rourke. We do hope you settle in quickly to your new home and the Village and enjoy the variety of activities available. Residents will have noticed quite a bit of activity in the Village. Apologies if this is causing any inconvenience and at times deterring from the look of the Village. However, with various tradesmen, concrete trucks, deliveries and skips at least we can prove that the Village is on the improve. Currently there is various work being undertaken on seven Units, with another four scheduled to follow. I think this is a very exciting time and the Units are looking fabulous on completion. The building team is very efficient and cohesive and their work is of a high standard. They are also very obliging and helpful to deal with. The Resident Forum agreed to make changes to the garden entrance of the Village. I will be meeting with a representative from Wise Employment to have a Work for the Dole worker to assist with gardening works. A worker will be available for 25 hours a week over six months, with Eric Lee supervising the worker. My priorities are the entrance, the rockery, the lake area and a garden in Floral Court.

INFORMATIONEN Nat King Cole war der populärste Sänger seiner Zeit und – gemeinsam mit Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra und Elvis Presley – einer der vier bekanntesten Sänger der Geschichte. Was Coles Erfolgs-Story noch bemerkenswerter macht: Er begann seine Karriere nicht im Pop-Bereich, sondern als einer der versiertesten Jazz-Pianisten, die es je gab. Bereits als er den Übergang vom Jazz zum Pop vollzog, hatte er mehr Platten verkauft und mehr Hits gelandet als jeder andere Künstler der Nachkriegszeit – und übertraf dabei sogar Frank Sinatra. Außerdem war Cole der erste afro-amerikanische Pop-Superstar, und auch hier ist er bis heute die Nr. 1. Coles Bariton-Stimme war weich und wohlklingend – viele seiner größten Erfolge feierte er mit Liebesliedern.

Making Cole's story all the more remarkable, he began his career not as a pop singer but as one of the greatest of all jazz pianists. Yet by the time he had made the transition from jazz to pop, he had sold more records and racked up more hit singles than anyone in the immediate post-war era, even Frank Sinatra. He was also the first Afro-American pop music superstar - and still the greatest. Cole's baritone voice was sweet and pretty, and most of his greatest successes were with love songs. Still, he had the greatest time of any singer ever, and was equally well-versed in swinging rhythm numbers and blues. In his combination of tenderness and bluesy energy, Cole was a founding father of rhythm and blues and a major influence on the soul movement – as cited by Charles Brown, Ray Charles and many other later stars. Like Frank Sinatra, he collaborated closely with the greatest pop orchestrators of all time, particularly Gordon Jenkins, Billy May and in particular, Nelson Riddle.

  • Nat King Cole
    Nat King Cole Background information Birth name Nathaniel Adams Coles Also known as Nat Cole Born March 17, 1919 Montgomery, Alabama, U.S. Died February 15, 1965 (aged 45) Santa Monica, California, U.S. Genres Vocal jazz, swing, traditional pop Occupation(s) Vocalist, pianist Instruments Piano, vocals, organ Years active 1935–1965 Labels Capitol Associated acts Natalie Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American singer who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He was widely noted for his soft, baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres and which he used to become a major force in popular music for 3 decades producing many hit songs for Cole. Cole was one of the first African Americans to host a national television variety show, The Nat King Cole Show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death from lung cancer in February 1965. Early life Nathaniel Adams Coles was born in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 17, 1919. Cole had three brothers: Eddie, Ike, and Freddy, and a half-sister, Joyce Coles. Ike and Freddy would later pursue careers in music as well. When Cole was four years old, he and his family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where his father, Edward Coles, became a Baptist minister. Cole learned to play the organ from his mother, Perlina Coles, the church organist. His first performance was of "Yes! We Have No Bananas" at age four. He began formal lessons at 12, eventually learning not only jazz and gospel music, but also Western classical music, performing, as he said, "from Johann Sebastian Bach to Sergei Rachmaninoff".
