Review
by Scott Yanow
One
of his first recording sessions after he returned to the scene
following a rather severe jail sentence was this tribute to Nat King
Cole. As it turned out, the quartet date with pianist Wynton Kelly,
bassist George Duvivier and drummer Rudy Collins was quickly forgotten
as Ammons recorded some more commercial material and this set was not
released for the first time until 1985. Ammons is in excellent form on
such ballads as "Nature Boy," "Lush Life," "Sweet Lorraine" and "The
Christmas Song," making one wish that the contents of this LP were
available on CD.

Una
de sus primeras sesiones de grabación después de volver a la escena
tras una condena de cárcel bastante severa fue este homenaje a Nat King
Cole. Resultó que la cita del cuarteto con el pianista Wynton Kelly, el
bajista George Duvivier y el baterista Rudy Collins fue rápidamente
olvidada ya que Ammons grabó material más comercial y este set no se
publicó por primera vez hasta 1985. Ammons está en excelente forma en
baladas como "Nature Boy", "Lush Life", "Sweet Lorraine" y "The
Christmas Song", haciendo que uno desee que el contenido de este LP esté
disponible en CD.
