Issac Delgado -][- L-O-V-E – [Ariola, 2010]
Sony Masterworks celebrates Issac Delgado’s recent Latin Grammy nomination for his new CD L-O-V-E in the category of “Best Latin Jazz Album.” On L-O-V-E, Cuban superstar Delgado recreates 12 sultry and sexy Spanish recordings originally sung by crooner Nat King Cole. He does so with the help of a number of outstanding musicians including a special contribution by Nat King Cole’s brother, Freddy Cole. This is the first time that Freddy Cole has participated in a tribute album for his brother.
