....actually, quite informative and entertaining video. Just in case you play trumpet or another brass instrument, I think you might find some trumpet and brass tutorials quite intriguing over at YOURBRASSINSTRUCTOR's Channel.
Holy cow, that is one all-star band playing with Nat! Roy Eldridge on tpt, Stan Getz on tenor, Herb Ellis on guitar and Ray Brown on bass...about a zillion dollars worth of talent!!
The problem was simple. Nat was an awesome pianist that could sing. But, he sang very well and that was what the record buying public wanted. So, after 1951, the King Cole Trio jazz pianist era was really over and Nat "King" Cole singer era was fully born. Capitol never recorded Nat on piano after 1956. So, these live shots are the only way we get to hear how he progressed on the instrument through the 1950's and 60's. Such a shame.

Nat wasn't just "good on the piano in spite of being a famous singer" - he kicked major league ass on the piano.
