(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD, released just this year, is filled to the brim with the glorious sound of Nat's voice.While it's sound is not of a studio, it's certainly good enough for a great listen. To hear Nat sing SEVEN minute medleys, two of them, which include songs like "Hi-Lilli-Hi-Lo," "There's a Lull in My Life", "Mona Lisa", "Unforgettable" etc. Half of the CD is recorded from the Riverside Inn in Fresno, California from 1963. There is a THREE minute Rheingold Beer commercial (why can't we have commercials like this today??!!)Then there's a rare 1962 New York live radio broadcast. The songs here are wonderful, his voice tops, and you forget what a masculine speaking voice he had. Many people shell out over 300 dollars for the out of print "Cole at the Sands" on Ebay. There is twice the music here, and certainly a more clearly defined representation of the legend in concert. Also filled with lots of Cole's jazz piano, and he works wonders with "Where or When." A must have for any fan of Nathanial Cole!! A joy from start to finish!!"
