thanks alan..

What I'm also trying to find out (and no Chuck - I don't have a discography and yes I did some online searching...) is this...

1) Has this stuff been released before? (I would suspect that it has but I can't find any info on it...) Was this a part of the 18CD Mosaic set???

2) Is this just his trio? Or other configuration?

3) Why isn't this being released as a Select or something?

here's the only info I've found...

"....Nat's next break came when he was used as the instrumental accompaniment to an Ink Spot style group called 'The Deamers'. He also made recordings for the Davis & Schwegler label as well as various transcription recordings for radio use only, mainly as backing for various girl singers of the time such as Maxine Johnson, Bonnie Lake, Juaneleda Carter, Anita O'Day, Anita Boyer etc. as well as many vocal and instrumental recordings in their own right. Between 1938 and 1941 Nat was to record some 200 transcription recordings, the majority of which have never been commercially issued. One of these was SWEET LORRAINE, a song which was to become synonymous with Nat King Cole and which he was to record many times.

During this period Nat changed the title of the Trio to 'King Cole and his Swing Trio' before in 1939 calling it 'King Cole Trio'. Nat's transcription recordings appeared on Keystone, Standard and MacGregor. ...."

Seems a little odd that none of this stuff has been out on CD.. This wasn't in the Mosaic set???

I haven't the time right now to dig out the Mosaic set booklet, but yes, I believe these were all included in the Mosiac set, and an internet search reveals that to be the case. Also portions have been on other cds, including the recent Proper box.

Excellent stuff. Would be interesting to know if new transfers were done from the original discs for this release. Not sure that is the case.

If you like early-1940s Nat, you might want to check out the MacGregor transcriptions as well. I used to have the old Laserlight box that collected many of them, and then traded up for the Music and Arts set. The trio backs singers on a number of these tracks as well--Anita Boyer, Ida James, and (one session only, I think) Anita O'Day--if you want the trio only, you might want to go with the Laserlight, which leaves off most of the backing numbers.

Here's the page on that set from the Music & Arts web site. You can order it directly from them for $44.85 plus $5 shipping. But note--they have this listed on their "Collector's Alert" page, meaning that they only have a few left and, once they're gone, that's it. Edited by Ron S
