Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

John Pizzarelli - P.S. Mr. Cole (1999)

CD cover art

In 1994, Pizzarelli released a tribute album of versions of songs recorded by the legendary Nat "King" Cole. This is the follow-up to that tribute album and is more of the same. From the liner notes:

Sadly, the legendary Oak Room at The Algonquin closed in 2012.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart

Tracks: A guitar trio softly interpreting the Great American Songbook? Please and thank you.
My favorites are tracks 1, 4, 6, 11, 12, 15, & 16. The sole original tune - track 14, That's Nat - ain't bad, either. There's nothing to skip here, but if you want to stop after 17 tracks, I certainly understand.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None.

Previously revisited for the blog:
Meets The Beatles (1998)
