my Fair Lady Loves Jazz

18 original albums in one box with some of the greatest names in Jazz incl. Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Oscar Peterson. The greatest Broadway musicals of all time - from "Porgy & Bess" to "West Side Story" - in fantastic Jazz arrangements. Also featuring hidden gems like "Do-Re-Mi" by June Christy and Bob Cooper or Blossom Dearie "Sings Comden & Green".

This excellent box set covers Nat's career from the beginning through about 1954. The sound is extremely good though there is noticeable background static on some of the older tracks. Only a very few tracks contain enough noise to be quite noticeable. Rather than restricting the content to his singing career, this set also includes Nat as a jazz pianist, as an accompanying pianist and as part of the Nat King Cole Trio which preceeded his latest career as a solo singer.
