The Nat King Cole Songbook Late Night Jazz – The Nat King Cole Songbook Samstag, 22. September 2018 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.

In addition to being a bandleader and solo performer, John has been a special guest on recordings for major pop artist such as James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Kristin Chenoweth, Tom Wopat, Rickie Lee Jones and Dave Von Ronk, as well as leading jazz artists like Rosemary Clooney, Ruby Braff, Johnny Frigo, Buddy DeFranco, Harry Allen and, of course, Bucky Pizzarelli.
