Which Nat King Cole?


I'd like to explore his sound some more. I've already got the S & P Records reissue of "Just One of Those Things" which features string arrangements. Which of his titles are more intimate sets without the strings? Which of these are the best recordings?

Thanks!

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.
Got to hear "After Midnight" on a friends system last night. Really outstanding recording!
