The Nat King Cole Live Experience

About this event

Step back in time with The Nat King Cole Live Experience, a heartfelt tribute to the timeless music of the legendary Nat King Cole. This outstanding four-piece ensemble faithfully recreates the distinctive sound of the original Nat King Cole Trio, featuring the classic lineup of piano, double bass, jazz guitar, and lead vocals. Their performance takes audiences on a musical journey from the 1940s through to the 1960s, celebrating Cole’s most loved songs including “Straighten Up and Fly Right,” “Route 66,” “Nature Boy,” “Mona Lisa,” “Unforgettable,” “Let There Be Love,” and “L-O-V-E.” The musicians—Mark Sambell (piano), Mike Frost (guitar), Bill Fletcher (double bass), and Mark Stevens (vocals)—are highly respected figures on the South Wales jazz scene, renowned for their exceptional skill and artistry. Based in Cardiff and Penarth, they bring authenticity, warmth, and effortless charm to every performance. Nat King Cole remains one of the most celebrated singers and jazz musicians of the 20th century. His music continues to inspire listeners of all ages—truly “kids from 1 to 92.” As he sings in his hit “The Christmas song”.
