The Nat King Cole Trio Live @ The Circle Room, Milwaukee - If You Can’t Smile And Say Yes (1946)
The Circle Room in the Hotel La Salle in Milwaukee, was the town’s premier jazz spot in 1946. this song was recorded there between September 21 and 25 of that year.
Nat King Cole, along with Oscar Moore and Johnny Miller, had begun his singing career playing in front of lounge crowds - it seemed to be the most natural thing in the world for him. Indeed, as bottles click and the periodic murmur of voices in the foreground appear in the mix, the listener will be transported into a period of time which was without doubt, thoroughly enjoyed.
