Inspiration: A Tribute To Nat King Cole

Inspiration: A Tribute To Nat King Cole is George Benson’s heartfelt salute to Nat King Cole, a musician whose songs he’s played since childhood. First released in 2013, it connected just as strongly with Benson fans as it did with listeners devoted to Cole’s timeless catalogue.

This expanded and remastered reissue was overseen by George Benson and original producer John Burk. It’s been re-sequenced and adds three more tracks from the original sessions, giving this celebration of Cole’s music even more room to shine.

Guests include Wynton Marsalis, Idina Menzel, and German jazz great Till Brönner. Arrangements come from Nelson Riddle, known for work with Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, plus Randy Waldman, whose credits include Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, and Michael Jackson.
