The Nat King Cole Trio Story
The King Cole Trio Story - Presented by Matt Cahill
Step back in time with the Matt Cahill Combo as they artfully recreate the golden era of the Nat King Cole Trio. Journey through the smoky bars and intimate clubs of the 1940s, experiencing the authentic sounds of a stripped back jazz trio, skilfully distilled and performed just as the legendary King Cole Trio did in their heyday. Let the classics like "Too Marvelous for Words", "Exactly Like You", "It’s Only A Paper Moon", and "Route 66" sweep you into a nostalgic trance!
"With a sound likened to the golden voices of this period, Matt Cahill sings with personality and professionalism. You can tell he's done his time as a jazz musician, with inflections and improvisations coming to him with ease." ★★★★★ Fringefeed, 2024
