Which Nat King Cole?

'After Midnight' is the one I own because I listen to mostly Jazz-oriented (and classical) music. Sinatra has his 'Jazzier' recordings too and I like them as well.

For best music I prefer "Live at the Circle Room", recorded 1946, though sound quality is not good. But the music is so good I can't help myself.

I mean, with lyrics like, "Honey let bygones, be bygones; or I'll punch a hole in your nylons", what's not to like?

Thanks everyone. Which of the high quality reissues are small jazz combo sessions without strings? I don't want the new box set because I already have one of the LP's contained within. Thanks.

No strings in "Live at the Circle Room", but not a "high" quality reissue.

I have gone back through my collection of Nat King Cole CDs and LPs this week. I concur “After Midnight” is really good. I assume by no strings you mean no violins because “After Midnight” has a string bass playing in the back ground. For Christmas time Nat’s “The Christmas Song” is also very good. I also have “Unforgettable”, “Collectors Series”, “Lush Life”, “Vol 1” and “Ramblin’ Rose”. They all have strings but I also like “Ramblin’ Rose” on LP in spite of strings.
