Info for A Sentimental Christmas With Nat King Cole And Friends: Cole Classics Reimagined (Remastered)

Das Album zum Fest: Weihnachtsklassiker von Nat "King" Cole, technisch aufgefrischt und mit aktuellen Gaststars!

Nat „King“ Cole war nicht nur Jazzpianist und einer der bis heute erfolgreichsten Pop-Sänger aller Zeiten, dank seiner legendären Interpretation des berühmten „Christmas Song“ und gleich mehrerer Weihnachtsalbum-Bestseller in den 1950er- und 1960er-Jahren, ist er heute vielleicht der Sänger, den man am stärksten mit Musik zum Weihnachtsfest assoziiert. Kein Wunder, seine weiche, warme, und dennoch immer strahlend klare Stimme eignet sich perfekt für dieses Repertoire.

Nat „King“ Coles Label Capitol Records hat jetzt einige seiner schönsten Weihnachtsaufnahmen digital „aufpoliert“ und noch ein kleines Stück zeitloser gemacht: Produzent Jay Landers ließ den namhaften Arrangeur Jorge Calandrelli neue Arrangements zu Coles-Original-Gesangsspuren aufnehmen, auf fünf Tracks gesellen sich die aktuellen Gäste John Legend, Calum Scott, Kristen Chenoweth, Gloria Estefan und Johnny Mathis hinzu. Das Ergebnis ist ein weihnachtlicher Musikgenuss im zeitgemäßen Traumklang und mit Stimmungs-Garantie.

Nat King Cole
Born March 17, 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama, Nat King Cole reigns among a very short list of music royalty as one of the most identifiable and most memorable voices in American music. In 1942, Cole was one of the first artists to sign with Capitol Records, and he recorded nearly 700 songs for the label, becoming the first Number One artist on Billboard's first album chart. During his 30-year recording career, Cole recorded more than 150 charting singles on Billboard's Pop, R&B and Country charts, a staggering record that remains unbroken by any other artist ever signed to Capitol Records, which led to the label being affectionately tagged, "The House That Nat Built."

In 1956, Cole also became the first person of color to host his own national network television show, NBC's "Nat King Cole Show." 1965 saw the release of Cole's classic album, Unforgettable, and his untimely passing that year at the age of 47. At the time of his death, it was reported that Capitol Records had sold more than nine million Nat King Cole records. From "Mona Lisa" to "Unforgettable," Nat King Cole's songs are incomparable; it is difficult to contemplate a holiday season without the warmth of Cole's evergreen rendition of "The Christmas Song." Cole's catalog continues to sell in excess of one million albums per year around the world.

In January 2005, Nat King Cole made his first return in 40 years to Billboard's Top 50 with the #41 debut of The World Of Nat King Cole (Capitol/EMI). Cole's last album to reach the Top 50, Unforgettable, peaked at #30 in 1965. In 1991, Natalie Cole's Unforgettable: With Love, featuring her warm virtual duet of "Unforgettable" with her father, topped charts around the world and won the coveted Album Of The Year Grammy Award, introducing Nat King Cole to a new generation of music fans.

For the March 2009 release of Nat King Cole's RE:GENERATIONS (Capitol/EMI), many of the world's most pioneering hip-hop, Latin, reggae and rock musicians, producers and DJs joined together to bring each of their distinct styles to 13 of Cole's outstanding recordings. Evocative of a sleek and stylish metrolounge where music and the visual arts converge, RE:GENERATIONS honors Nat King Cole's continued cultural influence around the planet, 90 years after his birth.

Interest in Nat King Cole's story continues to grow as younger generations discover his music as well as his role as the quiet catalyst in a host of musical and social movements. The arc of Cole's life is a study in success despite adversity, and the triumph of civility, respect and raw talent in equal measure with political, cultural and business savvy.
