Look at Cole as jazz pianist,a singer with expressions unlimited! He is to me a musician above all definitions.

100 percent agree... when I hear nat king cole makes me cry cuz it reminds me of my gramps.. As a piano player.. going back to his King Cole Trio only hits me harder because you get to see his musicianship shine so brightly. Truly an inspiration and a gem of a musician! :D

I just love his piano playing. So effortless, elegant, playful. It saddens me that not more of it is recorded.

Just look up the complete capital recordings of the king Cole trio

we won't see a talent like this again :(

Without exception, I listen to at least an hour's worth of Nat King Cole's music every week. Even now, 56 years after his tragic and untimely passing, his catalog is so vast that there are still revelations after all of this time. Not the least of those revelations are reminders like this one, of just how ahead of the curve he was. He is greatly, greatly missed.

Na king Cole was a highly talented piano player & singer. I've been his fan since my graduate days in the US early 1970s. I do like his daughter Natali. A beautiful singer who had international acclaim.

How is it possible to play such wonderful piano while singing so incredibly well - and sitting sideways at the piano while looking at the audience? Amazing. Nat King Cole has to be seen to be believed!

Because he was so talented on the piano. Believe it or not, it was his primary instrument.

I love Nat,a true piano genius with a splendid and warm voice and a very kind soul. His jazz is so elegant, funny,sometimes more complex or deep...There is one Nat,but all you know that,so..LOVE YOU NAT!!!

There's smooth and there's silky smooth. Then there's Nat.

he died a year before my birth,but I know most of his songs by heart.I guess I have an old soul!!

I love how they are obviously listening to each other; there’s no other way to play this well as an ensemble; wow, humans actually playing instruments what a concept

I love the way he doesn't have to look at the piano... He just looks at his audience, it really changes the experience. Love his light touch too.

Love nat king cole. Dad played records of him and the big bands. Sammy Davis. Love music and truly Miss this

Undoubtedly, Nat King Cole was a legend!

Nat smooth as silk, and jammin' his ass off!!!

King is King! Delightful beyond expectation! I'm so grateful that we have these recordings. Thank you for sharing. Peace & Blessings.

Nothing BUT Class!! What an Icon!!

Great combination of talent, hard work, and experience. It’s also great that he acknowledged the entire team, each as good as the next. Jazz is a wonderful combination of taking simple elements and combining in new and interesting ways. Even average jazz musicians knew what to expect as a song progressed and how to support each other in producing unique and touching experiences. They’d do this for an audience of one as readily as a packed auditorium.

God he just keeps getting better the older I get? lol he he ha ha COOL!

Absolute MASTERS of JAZZ ! ALL performers are AMAZING Musicians ! Fabulous video !

Nat King Cole was a brilliant musician . . . Thank you for everything . . . GOD bless you . . .

The days of the best musicians truly are behind us haha

I'm convinced that Nat King Cole was the greatest pianist of all time!

Robert Rodrigues well Oscar Peterson would say all the time how Nat was one of if not his biggest influence. So it’s safe to say without Nat there’s no Oscar. But if they made a Mt. Rushmore of Jazz Pianist all three of them are up there. Billy Tipton is also an underrated jazz pianist to me.

His scales are so fluid and effortless at 6:23 it looks and sounds like he’s doing a glissando, but he isn’t.

I've seen a clip of Cole playing the piano an incredible speed, pre internet. Does anybody know if available on the web??

2:40 qué hermoso toca...

I imagine that is a Steinway.

Yummy
