Over the past decade, new talents such as Cassandra Wilson, Patricia Barber and Holly Cole have redefined the world of female jazz vocals. Coles Temptation, a 1995 Blue Note release, is her musical tribute to the writings of Tom Waits. Besides being a superb audiophile recording (perfect in every production detail, from the rendering of Coles amazing voice to the incredibly natural sound captured by producer Craig Streets team), this album has garnered kudos for her interpretation of Waits unique compositions.

Now hear how our Analogue Productions 200-gram LP reissue makes this standout album even stronger! Legendary engineer Bernie Grundman remastered the recording that give Coles vocals richer detail and greater body. Premium pressing by Quality Record Pressings provides flawless reproduction against a super-silent background for pure listening enjoyment. Lastly, top it off with a Stoughton Printing old-style tip-on jacket and this disc is a sure winner. A great addition to your jazz collection.

Also included are Take Me Home, Train Song, Temptation, Falling Down, Invitation to the Blues, Franks Theme, Little Boy Blue, I Dont Wanna Grow Up, Tango til Theyre Sore, The Heart of Saturday Night, Soldiers Things, I Want You and Good Old World.
