Nat King Cole tribute jazz vinyl heartfelt homage to his greatest musical influence, Inspiration: A Tribute to Nat King Cole, gets its most complete release yet with three restored bonus tracks.
Reissued under the supervision of George Benson and the 2013 album's original producer, John Burk, Inspiration has been remastered, re-sequenced, and expanded to include three additional songs from the sessions.
After four years of touring and developing "An Unforgettable Tribute to Nat King Cole," this recording is one of the most meaningful of Benson's career and is a testament to the spirit of Cole's timeless body of work. Benson's heartfelt renditions of some of Cole's greatest songs with Nelson Riddle arrangements and the 42-piece Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra are complemented by duets with Tony Award winner Idina Menzel and rising star Judith Hill, along with a special collaboration with multi-Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.
Speaking on recording the album Benson says, "I felt every moment of it. You can't put together a record like this without putting your heart into it. I got that from Nat King Cole. He put his heart into everything he did."
The careers of Benson and Cole share a similar arc, both establishing themselves first as highly respected instrumentalists before skyrocketing to crossover success once they began sharing their unforgettable voices with the world.
Better known as a jazz pianist first, Nat King Cole's major breakthrough came in 1943 when he added his melting baritone voice to "Straighten Up and Fly Right," coincidentally the same year of George Benson's birth. Benson, who had a well-established career as one of the world's top jazz guitarists, made his major break in the pop world by singing "This Masquerade" and subsequently had the first jazz album to go platinum with Breezin. Yet, both of these remarkable artists remained true to their jazz roots as this album revels with 12 covers of Cole's most endearing repertoire.
