Hot and Cole

CD-R, Buddy first became famous for playing piano on stage with Judy Garland in a Star Is Born, but most of the work this great keyboardist did was behind the scenes, tickling the ivories for such vocal legends as Nat Cole and Bing Crosby. By the time he recorded this 1959 LP, though, Buddy had for the most part switched to organ, recording under his own name a number of jazzy, lounge music albums, of which this one is reckoned among the best, from it's great, period artwork to the mellow, swingin' sounds Buddy coaxes from the keys.
