BOOKLET + 60 PAGES with collector photographs by Will Friedwald and Nick Rossi. Interviews with Johnny Mathis, Quincy Jones, Harry Belafonte, John Pizzarelli, Tony Bennett, Freddy Cole, etc. This 7-CD or 10-LP collection draws its richness from a good number of sources, including previously unreleased tracks found in archives around the world such as \"Trompin'\" (released on jukebox for Cinematone in 1939), \"What'cha Know Joe\" (1940 radio performance and Nat's first known radio appearance), and \"The Romany Room is Jumpin'\" (1941 private recording). On some sessions, Nat can be found on piano with his brother's band, at the age of 17! Also featured are the very first recordings of the King Cole Trio from 1938, his sessions for Standard, Davis \u0026 Schwegler, and for MacGregor with Anita Boyer. Also included: Decca-stamped recordings (1940-41), Excelsior or Premier (1943), recordings broadcast to the armed forces, and his first jazz sessions with Lester Young and Dexter Gordon. A must-have!","brand":"Nat King Cole","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55396355539288,"sku":null,"price":23872009.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0712758040398.jpg?v=1767897167","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/nat-king-cole_hittin-the-ramp-the-early-years_2021_pia","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
