The Nat King Cole Collection
Editorial Reviews
Robert K. Oermann, Music Row, 11/8/98-11/22/98
"Cooler than the breeze"
From the Artist
"Every pianist working in the world today owes a musical debt to Nat King Cole. Apart from his wonderful singing voice and personality, he was a major influence on jazz and swing piano styles. His early trio recordings are some of the best ever made. "I am honored to have the chance to play some of the lovely music he left, alive and well, in hearts and memories everywhere.
"Thanks, Nat" --Beegie Adair
Album Description

Delectable music.......2007-04-04
Unforgettable;Sweet Lorraine;Walking My Baby Back Home; Mona Lisa and all of the wonderful other songs bring back happy memories of my teenage years in the 50's. The great Beegie Adair is a superb jazz pianist who plays with such a light touch and with such fabulous improvisations along the way that I never tire of listening to her and always have one of her CD's playing in the car and another in the house. I must be getting close to having all of her CD's now and only regret that I have to send to the US to get her work as I seem to be the only person in Australia who knows of her.
Exceeded my expectations........2006-03-25
This album by Beegie Adair was a pleasant surprize. I had heard a sample of her music on XM radio one afternoon, and decided to order a CD of hers from Amazon. I listen to it in my automobile and also in my home. It is truly a marvelous experience. So smooth and relaxing.

"keeping the memory of Nat King Cole alive ~ Beegie Adair".......2004-10-20
One of the best kept secrets around...but the word, or should say music is getting out there ~ if you haven't discovered Beegie Adair yet, hold on tight because you're in for a terrific ride...cause here we go with "The Nat King Cole Collection", musical tribute to the unforgettable voice of the man who built the "Capitol Record Towers" at Hollywood & Vine ~ follow the career of a beloved artist during his very short stay on this planet.
The Trio featuring Beegie Adair [piano], Roger Spencer [bass] and Chris Brown [drums]...every selection a beauty in jazz, Beegie has her pulse on the genre...listen as her creativity showers you with her talent...blending improvisation and interpretation mixed with wonderful arrangements as only Beegie can.
Adair trio are impeccable musicians, renditions are simply brilliant ~ "SWEET LORRAINE" [M. Parish/C. Burwell], "L-O-V-E" [Bert Kaempfert/M. Gable], "UNFORGETTABLE' [I. Gordon], "STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT" [Nat King Cole/I. Mills], "MONA LISA" [J. Livingston/R. Evans], "SMILE" [J. Phillips/G. Parsons], "ROUTE 66" [Bobby Troup], "THAT SUNDAY, THAT SUMMER" [G.D. Weiss/J. Sherman], "ORANGE COLORED SKY" [M. Delugg/W. Stein], "DARLING JE VOUS AIME BEAUCOUP" [A. Sosenko], "WALKIN' MY BABY BACK HOME" [R. Turk/F. Ahlert] and "TOO YOUNG" [S. Dee/S. Lippman]...superb musicianship and as always, Beegie's light touch on the keys is why you purchased the album in the first place.
Delectable array of tunes to share with friends and members of your Jazz Family...rhythm section keeps the groove going...Beegie has the interpretation we've come to love...check out her mood swingin' improvisations...each track a favorite, plus the arrangements are a real treat and exiciting...Beegie's timing is perfection and the group follows her lead...sensitivity to the melody with outstanding sound quality...if you enjoy piano and mood setting background music, then this Beegie Adair collection has your name on it...her signature style is something to hear and savor...please sit back in a comfortable chair and listen to an outstanding accomplished jazz pianist make each song her own...just the way you like 'em!
Total Time: 44:08 on 12 Tracks ~ Spring Hill 5109 ~ (4/15/1998)
Mood Music at It's Best.......2004-04-12
This album sets just the right tone for a quiet dinner and good conversation with friends or for a more romantic evening. The gorgeous melodies, while familiar, seem fresh and alive. Lovely!
I was a JERK to only give this 4 stars..........2003-12-09
It's funny how time affects one's opinion. In the case of this cd, it has really done a good job of convincing me that it's a truely good cd. In my last review I made some stupid remarks, I really stuck my foot in my BIG mouth, i do that a lot.
I mentioned in my last review of this cd, that I thought she improvised too much, what a stupid fool I was. I wrote that before I truly understood what jazz was, and thanks to Beegie, I now finally GET IT. Now the main reason I listen to this is for the improviastions and the exciting strays away from the melody.
I now understand any BOZO easy listening pianist can play songs staright, but what makes Beegie so special is her swinging improvisations. The most exciting parts of this cd are when Beegie improvises and strays from the melody!
I wish I could erase my last review, I could hit myself over the head for that. I also remarked that she didn't know the proper time to improvise, I knew NOTHING of jazz back then, Beegie's timing is perfect, and she knows EXACTLY when to improvise, I wouldn't change a not on this cd.
But who really cares about my dumb opinions anyway right? Well i love thsi cd anyway, it's a jazz classic, and truly a tribute to the King, Nat that is!
Can I recomend this cd?
Yes, as a matter a fact I can.
