Vol.2, 1960-1964 11-CD Box & 184-Page-Book
In many ways, the last five years of Nat King Cole's recording career
was his most successful period: despite the insurgence of rock 'n'
roll and other non-traditional pop musics, Cole was riding higher
than ever. He had more big hits in these years than ever before, and
he mastered the technique of turning hit singles into best selling
albums. The years 1960-1964 found Cole collaborating extensively with
a new and outstanding musical director, the highly talented Ralph
Carmichael, as well as creating some of his best-remembered albums
with old friends like Billy May and Gordon Jenkins. There also were
wonderful one-shot projects like his team-up with the great pianist
George Shearing and Cole's only official live recording. -- This
second 11-CD set is the first complete collection of all of Nat
Cole's recordings from the final half-decade of his career, a total
of 292 masters. The set includes all of the following albums, in many
cases including rare 'bonus' material from the same sessions: Cole's
only in-concert recording, 'Live At The Sands' (1960) ' universally
regarded as one of the great live albums of all time. 'Wild Is Love'
' Cole's only original-story concept album, containing the classic
title song, and his last collaboration with the great arranger Nelson
Riddle (1960). 'The Magic Of Christmas' ' The King's only
all-original Christmas concept album, a collection of traditional
carols that marked his first project with the wonderful musical
director Ralph Carmichael (1960). 'The Touch Of Your Lips' ' One of
Cole's all-time greatest ballad albums, with sumptuous arrangements
by the brilliant Mr. Carmichael (1960). 'Nat King Cole Sings / George
Shearing Plays' ' Another brilliant collection of love songs, Cole's
only meeting with the marvelous jazz pianist, backed by more deluxe
string arrangements from Ralph Carmichael ' including many bonus
tracks (1961). 'The Nat King Cole Story' ' Cole's massive
autobiographical statement of 1961, in which he recreated his classic
hits of the '40s and '50s in state of the art stereo with the
original orchestrations in an elaborate three-LP package ' including
several bonus tracks. 'Let's Face The Music!' ' Cole's last teaming
with his old chum Billy May proved to be one of the hardest-swinging
albums of his career, in which he not only swung the hell out of 12
great songs but contributed five solos (the only ones of his career)
on electric organ (1961)! 'More Cole Espanol' ' Cole's final
Spanish-language album brought him South of the border to Mexico
City, both musically and literally! With Ralph Carmichael (1962).
'Ramblin' Rose' ' Cole's first mega-hit of this period, a blockbuster
country song 'by two Jewish boys from Brooklyn' that became one of
his all-time best-sellers and led to an equally succesful album
(1962). 'Dear Lonely Hearts' ' The second of Cole's country albums.
(1962). 'Where Did Everyone Go' ' The only time that Cole recorded a
set of saloon-and-suicide songs in the style of Frank Sinatra's 'Only
The Lonely.' An all-time classic if under-appreciated album of
quality pop music, orchestrated in high style by the great Gordon
Jenkins and featuring several all-time Cole classics, such as the
title song and the haunting I Keep Going Back To Joe's (1962). 'My
Fair Lady' ' Cole's marvelous but little-known recording of the
complete score to the 1956 classic musical by Alan Jay Lerner and
Frederick Lowe, with marvelous orchestrations by Ralph Carmichael
(1963). 'Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days Of Summer' ' One of the biggest
hits of the early '60s, and a song that all but defined an era,
expanded into a marvelous sing-a-long album ' 12 warmly nostalgic
songs of the good old summertime, featuring Cole, Carmichael's
orchestra and a large chorus. Includes That Sunday, That Summer,
among the most beautiful songs Cole recorded in the later period
(1963). 'I Don't Want To Be Hurt Anymore ' ' Cole's final country
album, the most modern sounding of the three, with sophisticated
charts by Ralph Carmichael, and including many bonus tracks and
singles (1964). 'L-O-V-E' ' Cole's last hit was a German import by
Bert Kaempfert that he and Ralph Carmichael worked into a classic
album, all of hard-swinging, Basie-esque love songs with a
continental flavor. Cole's final album featured some of the best
singing (and swinging!) of his entire career. Plus over 40 singles,
nearly none of them ever reissued on LP or CD, including some
wonderful, hidden gems, such as : - Several outstanding showtunes,
such as 'Look No Further' from 'No Strings,' and 'Magic Moment' from
'The Gay Life.' - Cole's little-known 1960 reunion session with Stan
Kenton and his Orchestra. - Cole's only date with arranger Richard
Wess, which resulted in the swinging 'Cappuccina'. - A marvelous
selection of foreign language versions of his hit songs, most never
commonly available in any country! - Several outstanding movie songs,
including Cole's vocals from his last film, the classic
comedy-western 'Cat Ballou.' - Most of these singles tracks have only
been heard in the last 40 years with over-dubbed rhythm section '
this package marks their first compilation in the orginal, untampered
masters, as they were meant to be heard. -- The hardcover book
features the usual Bear Family amenities: 184 pages of full-color
photos from the Capitol vault, extensive analysis and background by
Will Friedwald, the definitive Cole scholar, as well as a complete
discography and tune index by Michel Ruppli, Jordan Taylor, Russell
Wapensky & Richard Weize.
English:
In vielfacher Hinsicht waren die letzten
fünf Jahre in Nat King Coles Karriere die erfolgreichsten und
bedeutsamsten: Er behauptete sich gegen den rebellischen Rock 'n'
Roll und andere Formen nicht-traditioneller Popmusik und stand auf
dem absoluten Höhepunkt. Er verbuchte in jenen Jahren mehr Hits als
je zuvor, und er schaffte es meisterlich, unmittelbar auf einzelne
Hits komplette Bestseller-Alben folgen zu lassen. Zwischen 1960 und
1964 arbeitete Cole mit einem neuen, außergewöhnlichen musikalischen
Leiter zusammen, Ralph Carmichael ' ferner schuf er einige seiner
überragendsten Langspielplatten mit altgedienten Mitstreitern wie
Billy May und Gordon Jenkins. Außerdem kam es zu wunderbaren,
einmaligen Projekten wie etwa der Kooperation mit dem Pianisten
George Shearing und zu Coles einziger offizieller Live-LP. -- Die
vorliegende, brandneue 11-CD-Box ist die erste Veröffentlichung
sämtlicher Nat-King-Cole-Aufnahmen der letzten fünf Jahre seiner
langen Karriere, insgesamt 292 Master. Die Box enthält die folgenden
Alben, in vielen Fällen außerdem zusätzliches Material aus den
entsprechenden Sessions: Coles einzige Live-LP 'Live At The Sands'
(1960) ' einhellig als eines der besten Live-Alben aller Zeiten
bezeichnet. 'Wild Is Love' ' Coles einziges Konzeptalbum inklusive
des berühmten Titelsongs, zugleich seine letzte Zusammenarbeit mit
dem bedeutenden Arrangeur Nelson Riddle (1960). 'The Magic Of
Christmas' ' Coles einzige authentische Weihnachts-LP, eine Sammlung
traditioneller Songs zum Fest; seine erstes Projekt mit dem
großartigen Ralph Carmichael als musikalischem Leiter (1960). 'The
Touch Of Your Lips' ' Eine von Coles schönsten Balladen-Sammlungen,
mit aufwendigen Arrangements von Mr. Carmichael (1960). 'Nat King
Cole Sings / George Shearing Plays' ' Eine weitere brillante
Kollektion von Liebesliedern; Coles einzige Zusammenarbeit mit dem
brillanten Jazz-Pianisten, abgerundet durch superbe
Streicher-Arrangements von Ralph Carmichael. Enthält viele
Extra-Tracks (1961). 'The Nat King Cole Story' ' Coles umfassendes
autobiographisches Statement von 1961 mit Neueinspielungen seiner
klassischen Hits aus den 40er und 50er Jahren, jetzt in vorzüglichem
Stereo und mit den Original-Orchester-Parts (damals eine sorgfältig
gestaltete Dreier-LP) ' dazu viele Extra-Titel. 'Let's Face The
Music!' ' Coles letzte Zusammenarbeit mit seinem alten Weggefährten
Billy May erwies sich als eine der am intensivsten swingenden LPs
seiner Karriere; hier holte er nicht nur alles aus den 12 Songs
heraus, sondern spielte zusätzlich fünf Soli auf einer elektrischen
Orgel ' die einzigen seiner gesamten Karriere! Von 1961. 'More Cole
Espanol' ' Coles letztes spanischsprachiges Album führte ihn nach
Mexico City, musikalisch und textlich! Mit Ralph Carmichael (1962).
'Ramblin' Rose' ' Coles erster Super-Hit aus jenen Tagen, ein
Country-Abräumer 'von zwei jüdischen Jungs aus Brooklyn', der zu
einem seiner ewigen Bestseller wurde und den Boden für ein ähnlich
erfolgreiches Album bereitete (1962). 'Dear Lonely Hearts' ' Coles
zweites Country-Album. (1962). 'Where Did Everyone Go' ' Coles
einzige LP mit Bar- und Einsamkeits-Songs im Stil von Frank Sinatras
'Only The Lonely'. Ein unterbewerteter Klassiker mit hochqualitativer
Popmusik, überragend arrangiert von Gordon Jenkins und voller
Cole-Highlights wie etwa dem Titelsong und dem unwiderstehlichen 'I
Keep Going Back To Joe's' (1962). 'My Fair Lady' ' Coles wunderschöne
(aber weniger bekannte) Gesamtaufnahme des weltberühmten Musicals von
Alan Jay Lerner und Frederick Lowe aus dem Jahr 1956. Überragende
Orchestrierung durch Ralph Carmichael (1963). 'Those Lazy, Hazy,
Crazy Days Of Summer' ' Einer der bedeutendsten Frühsechziger-Hits
und gleichzeitig ein Song, der eine musikalische Epoche prägte und
ein wunderbares Album nach sich zog ' 12 angenehm nostalgische
Sommer-Lieder mit Cole, dem Carmichael-Orchester und großem Chor.
Enthält 'That Sunday, That Summer', einen der schönsten späten
Cole-Titel (1963). 'I Don't Want To Be Hurt Anymore' ' Coles letztes
Country-Album (zugleich das modernste der drei), mit abgeklärten
Arrangements von Ralph Carmichael sowie vielen Bonus-Titeln und
Songs, die damals auf Singles erschienen sind (1964). 'L ' O ' V ' E'
' Coles letzter Hit stammte von dem Deutschen Bert Kaempfert. Mit
Ralph Carmichael schuf er um diesen Titel herum einen LP-Klassiker
mit intensiv swingenden Liebesliedern im Stil eines Count Basie und
mit europäischem Flair. Coles letztes Album präsentierte soviel guten
Gesang und Swing wie nur wenige während seiner gesamten Karriere. Die
Box enthält außerdem mehr als 40 Singles, von denen die meisten noch
nie auf LP oder gar CD veröffentlicht wurden. Darunter sind
unentdeckte, brillante Highlights wie zum Beispiel: Viele überragende
Show-Songs, etwa 'Look No Further' (von 'No Strings') und 'Magic
Moment' (von 'The Gay Life'). - Coles kaum bekannte Reunion-Session
von 1960 mit Stan Kenton und seinem Orchester. - Coles einzige
Zusammenarbeit mit dem Arrangeur Richard Wess, mit 'Cappuccina' als
swingendem Ergebnis. - Die wunderbaren fremdsprachigen Versionen, die
Cole von seinen Hits sang und die nicht einmal immer in den
jeweiligen Ländern erhältlich waren! - Diverse überragende
Film-Songs, zum Beispiel aus der Western-Kult-Komödie 'Cat Ballou'.
Viele dieser Singles-Tracks waren in den vergangenen 40 Jahren nur
mit nachträglich hinzugefügten Rhythmusspuren zu hören, auf dieser
Box sind sie erstmals in ihrer ursprünglichen, unverfälschten Form
zusammengestellt. -- Das gebundene-Buch ist von gewohnter,
außergewöhnlicher Bear-Family-Qualität: 184 Seiten, prall gefüllt mit
Farbfotos aus dem Capitol-Archiv, einem umfangreichen, analysierenden
Hintergrundtext des anerkannten Cole-Kenners Will Friedwald und mit
einer Komplett-Discographie sowie einem Song-Index von Michel Ruppli,
Jordan Taylor, Russell Wapensky & Richard Weize.
