Nicolas Bearde has long appreciated the music of Nat King Cole, one of his earliest influences, and produced this album in celebration of Nat’s 100th birthday.

“I Remember You …The Music of Nat King Cole” is Bearde’s latest and sixth released on his own label, Right Groove Records.

Though the ten songs on this project are associated with Cole, Bearde breathes new life into the tunes with his rich, warm voice and supple phrasing, imbuing each song with his own soulful and romantic interpretation.

Jazz Critics say, “Bearde is a master storyteller, and… there is a certain elegance to his singing that makes songs on “I Remember You - The Music of Nat King Cole” with their updated, hip arrangements, as fresh and evocative as when they were originally performed”

Now available for purchase on BandCamp 

"The tracks cement Bearde’s place as an inheritor of Cole’s cool…he soothes and seduces…Bearde is a soulful sensation"
