Об альбоме
Nelson Riddle arrangements were integral to Cole’s success. The 2 collaborated on 45 hits in the early 50s. In 1958 they would join forces once again in St. Louis Blues. The singer, who became a pioneer as the 1st African-American host of a network TV show, was selected to portray legendary blues composer, W.C. Handy in a musical bio-pic. The obvious challenge was to adapt this material to modern popular music. Opening the album is an overture that combines Riddle’s “Love Theme” & “Hesitating Blues”. Cole’s jazzy phrasing on the latter is a natural fit to blues, & Harry “Sweets” Edison contributes some catchy trumpet runs. The relaxed vibe of “King” is apparent on easy swing pieces like “Chantez Les Bas” & “Careless Blues”. However the interpretations of blues as pop standards is more than evident. “Joe Turner’s Blues” is upbeat & coalesced by big band aesthetics. “Friendless Blues” is “down & dirty” showcasing the heartfelt vocal style of Cole. His ability to inject emotion with graceful restraint is uncanny. Horn-laden moments energize “Beale Street Blues” & “Yellow Dog Blues”. But the superbly crafted vocals are never overshadowed. Classic Jenkins string orchestration envelops “Morning Star”. The jazzy version of “Memphis Blues” with trumpet & slide trombone is memorable & elevates the project.
