Nat "King" Cole and Oscar Moore play Edward MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose" (Op51)

Edward MacDowell's (1860-1908) most popular piece was "To A Wild Rose" from his piano suite, "Woodland Sketches." Here is a profoundly sensitive treatment by one of the most underrated pianists in Jazz history: Nat "King" Cole. Oscar Moore's sympathetic guitar is breathtaking.
Ironically it was Ragtime that made MacDowell plummet from fame to forgotten. Of all the performances of this song, this one's the most affecting for me.

You're welcome, Mike. There are actually three versions on the Complete Nat King Cole Trio on Capitol, an 18 disc set, very rare now... Cheers. Glad you enjoy it.

Oscar Moore; a classic pioneer of an old instrument suddenly electrified. He could make it sound like a bee, harpsichord, banjo, or harp, happy or sad in the new thing called jazz. They were good together. Nat was a master at the piano and a born to the style of the time. They were great ...great.

Hey Mr/Ms Moore: nice to meet you! Haha! I met Irene Kral's daughter on Facebook. Small World (as her mother sang once)...
Yup, Oscar was such a beautiful player, such a beautiful touch, and so in perfect accord with Nat's beautiful touch... I read they worked together for 19 years! No surprise listening to their easy give and take. Thanks for stopping by!
