Gregory Porter omaggia Nat King Cole con l’album “Nat King Cole & Me” – Tappe del Tour

di Mela Giannini

Gregory Porter – vincitore già di due Grammy Awards – omaggia il grande Nat King Cole come meglio non si potrebbe fare, dedicando a Nat un intero album  con brani del suo repertorio.

Il titolo dell’album, il quinto della carriera di Porter, non poteva che essere “Nat King Cole & Me“. All’interno ci sono dei grandi classici come “Nature Boy”, “Smile” e alti brani che hanno fatto grande la stella di Nat King Cole, oltre a una nuova versione di “When Love Was King” che Porter aveva già inserito nel suo primo album.

L’album, che contiene 12 tracce (15 nella versione deluxe), è stato registrato agli AIR Studios di Londra, ed è stato prodotto da Vince Mendoza.
