Buy it, buy it now. Fantastic!!! Good thing it's an SACD or it'd be worn out by now! 5/5 CDreview

It feels so intimate it's like you're sitting in a chair right next to these guys and they go through these numbers. It's almost a little eerie at times--Nat is gently singing and almost breathing down your neck, but separated by a Twilight Zone veil of 55 years. sacdrev

The well-suited blending of Nat King Cole's supreme talents as jazz pianist/vocalist with small combos featuring fellow jazz alumni and commercial pop and jazz material proved to be wildly successful with this 1956 release. After Midnight firmly displays the depth of Cole's jazz roots and it maintains the perfect balance between romantic charm and musical invention. The last full-length jazz record Cole would release, it features contributions from guitarist John Collins, trumpeter .Harry.."Sweets" Edison, violinist Stuff Smith, and valve trombonist Juan Tizol.

Musicians:

Nat "King" Cole - vocals, piano
Willie Smith - alto saxophone
Harry "Sweets" Edison, trumpet
Juan Tizol - valve trombone
Stuff Smith - violin
John Collins - guitar
Charlie Harris - bass
Lee Young - drums
Jack Costanzo - congas, bongos
