...late to catch up and catch on. In fact, now is just the time. Cole is more emphatically present now than at any time since his death in 1965. His daughter Natalie reprised his Unforgettable earlier this year, laid in her dad's voice for a posthumous duet and grabbed herself a No. 1 album. A new Cole biography was published this spring. Every time PBS has a time slot to fill or needs to kick off a fund raiser, it seems to air a show from Cole's '50s TV variety series...

Now that Nat has got to the top of the charts again, via a ghostly duet with his daughter Natalie, this is the perfect time to discover Pop in his prime, singing and swinging his way through 17 standards backed by a big band, predominantly Count Basie's, on this welcome reissue...

There are screenings of films whose display is still illegal in Germany, such as Hitlerjunge Quex, 1933, and Jud Suss, 1940. One can listen to a duet from Act I of Lohengrin, conducted by the young Nazi virtuoso Herbert von Karajan, or to SS marches...
