Read "Swiss Radio Days, Vol. 43 - Zurich 1950" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Nat King Cole means two very different things to two different segments of the music-loving populace today. To those simply plugged into popular culture he's the golden-voiced baritone crooner, debonair and delightful as can be while travelling over the airwaves. But to those steeped in jazz history he's known as a mighty and true pianist, throwing ...

Read "Calling Ra, Mr. Sun Ra your rocket ship is ready" reviewed by Mark Corroto
