The Piano Style of Nat King Cole is a 1956

studio album by Nat King Cole, with orchestra arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle. This was Cole's last instrumental album.[1]

Reception

The

Allmusic review by Lindsay Planer awarded the album three stars, and said that "Cole nimbly reels off some of his most accomplished keyboarding to date, all the while guiding the big band into a spirited musical repartee"[1]
