"It's lyrical, light, flawless swinging King Cole piano solo with a Nelson Riddle orchestral backing, playing standards from My Heart Stood Still to April In Paris. What more do you want??"
The Piano Style of Nat King Cole

"Nelson Riddle provides outstanding accompaniment to the virtuosity of Nat Cole on the piano. This performance reinforces the truth that Nat King Cole rates with Art Tatum and Teddy Wilson as a jazz pianist."
Excellent Piano Stylings

"This is a pensive, introspective Cole breaking new ground, exploring a new kind of dialog with the piano and the orchestra. During the hight of his vocal career few realized the quality of his musicianship and piano playing. This isn't background music: you cannot anticipate the next note, so you wind up listening closely to his playing, 'feeling' his fingers on the keys. This is a musician's album, best appreciated by musicians and astute listeners, but a pleasure at all times."
