EPM's selection of Nat King Cole Trio sides works as fine alternative to popular collections on Capitol and Rhino. Along with many classics like "Sweet Lorraine," "Route 66," "Straighten up and Fly Right," and "It's Only a Paper Moon," the disc includes such rarer gems as "I Like to Riff," "Easy Listening Blues," and "I Know That You Know." This mix provides a nicely balanced overview of the trio's prime output from the '40s. And Cole's best combo, with guitarist Oscar Moore and bassist Johnny Miller, plays on the bulk of the material. The pianist, of course, is in top form throughout, seamlessly combining elements from stride and bop with echoes of Teddy Wilson's own streamlined style. Not necessarily the best first-disc choice, this EPM collection will still provide a top-quality and varied taste of Cole's early work. ~ Stephen Cook, Rovi
