Album Review
A year after Nat King Cole's death, Capitol Records released this "live" album, recorded at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas on January 14, 1960. There is historical interest in that this is the only Cole concert recording, and it's an enjoyable performance, with more up-tempo numbers than ballads and a piano solo on "Where Or When" that demonstrates Cole had not lost his jazz chops. But Cole on-stage is not a revelatory experience, at least on this night, and like most Vegas performances, this one is a little overdone. An arrangement of Cole Porter's "Miss Otis Regrets" is especially unfortunate. [Originally released in February 1966, "Nat King Cole at the Sands" (Capitol 2434) was reissued on CD in 1991 (Capitol 93786) and again in 2002 (Capitol 38694).] ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
