Product description

In "For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nat King Cole," John Pizzarelli, the world-renowned jazz guitarist and singer, pays a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Nat King Cole on the centennial of his birth. Released on March 8, 2019, under Ghostlight Records, this 14-track album is a delightful blend of vocal jazz and traditional jazz, spanning a total of 52 minutes.

Pizzarelli's smooth vocals and masterful guitar work shine throughout the album, as he takes on several of Cole's most beloved standards, including "When I Fall in Love," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," and "Route 66." The album also features some lesser-known gems from Cole's repertoire, offering a fresh perspective on the iconic singer's music.

The John Pizzarelli Trio's renditions are not mere covers but rather creative reinterpretations that stay true to the spirit of the originals while adding Pizzarelli's unique touch. The album's production is top-notch, with crisp sound quality that allows each instrument and vocal nuance to come through clearly.

"For Centennial Reasons" is not just a celebration of Nat King Cole's enduring legacy but also a testament to John Pizzarelli's artistry and his deep respect for the jazz tradition. Whether you're a longtime fan of Nat King Cole or a newcomer to his music, this album offers a captivating journey through the timeless songs of a jazz legend, as interpreted by one of today's most talented musicians.
