about

'The Best Man' continues the repertoire and works of the great Nat 'King' Cole's early drum-less trio. This album is yet another snapshot of tunes performed by Wellington based trio Ol' King Cole.

The Best Man was the tune that started it all... After hearing this song by Nat's trio it urged Louis on to delving deeper into the cannon of Nat's trio works and putting together Ol' King Cole.

A few classic tunes made famous by Nat are wonderfully balanced with other quirky tunes of the era, leaving you with a good ol' fashioned time right here!
