收录美国著名黑人爵士歌手Nat King Cole的一百首金曲,首首经典,曲曲动听,虽然他已经逝世几十年,其歌声仍然深深印在歌迷的记忆中,是乐迷的挚爱珍藏。
纳·京·科尔(英语:Nat King Cole,或译纳京高,1919年3月17日-1965年2月15日)是一位美国的音乐家,以出色的爵士钢琴演奏而闻名,但他除了是一位杰出的钢琴家,亦以柔和的男中音闻名于世。
他本名Nathaniel Adams Coles,父亲为教会牧师,家里的兄弟各自都有音乐专长。如同大部份的南方黑人,为了求得更好的生活水平,四岁时随家人移居芝加哥,十二岁时在父亲主持的教会弹奏管风琴并加入诗班。借着动人的歌声常在大乐队与爵士乐的演出中表演, 在1936年与兄弟Eddie合出第一张由Decca发行的唱片。他亦是第一位在电视上主持综艺节目的非洲裔美国人。即使在他过世40年后,在全世界仍然十分受欢迎,更被广泛认为是美国音乐史上的一位非常重要的代表。
他的弹奏风格受到前辈Earl Hines的节奏性演奏风格颇深,右手重视漂亮的和弦与装饰音,左手则扮演节奏乐器的角色,音符的走法比较随性,不若右手稠密紧凑。他定居洛杉矶好莱坞之后,与 Oscar Moore(吉他),Wesley Prince(低音贝斯)合组三重奏,后改为 King Cole Trio,在好莱坞的Swanne Inn 固定演出,由于 Nat 的歌喉圆润抒情,深受白人听众喜爱,他灌录的几张唱片很快就成为全国畅销名盘,其三重奏组合与乐风走向也深深影响后来的钢琴家如 Art Tatum、Ahmad Jamal、甚至 Bill Evans 等。 Nat 灌录的唱片主要集中在1940至1951止的Decca与Capitol两家唱片公司。
