Award winning international vocalist Joe Bourne with his trio presents "Remembering Mr. Cole" A Tribute to Nat King Cole / Music and Narration performing Nat's early repertoire as well as the most popular Nat Cole hits.
Joe Bourne has a warm mellifluous voice and simple, elegant style that can be very reminiscent of Nat Cole. He has the virtuosity combined with ease of execution needed to communicate the fun and swing of this music.
The Trio with Pianist / Arranger Gary Moran, Bassist, Scott Black and Guitarist Matt Mitchell play with the elegance and swing of the classic Nat King Cole trio.
The arrangements have been transcribed from the original recordings in great detail and the trio executes the introductions, interludes, and endings of the original recordings and contributes its own improvised solos that are contemporary, yet rooted in the 1940s style.
Dr. Herb Wong IAJE Jazz Educational Journal
Devotees of Nat "King" Cole and his Trio will dig Bourne's warm, captivating interpretative singing and arrangements. His wonderful baritone voice and jazz-infused delivery paired with the impressive Gary Moran Trio resurrect fond memories of the K.C. Trio. Joe Bourne has a winner.

Carol Cole / King Cole Productions, Inc. Many thanks for sending me Remembering Mr. Cole with Joe Bourne and The Gary Moran Trio. I always appreciate it when artists do tribute albums to my father and this is one of the best. Joe has such a smooth vocal quality so reminiscent of Nat's and the trio does a great job with the arrangements.
