Penthouse Serenade is an instrumental jazz quartet album by Nat King Cole. Just one year after Nat King Cole disbanded his trio and turned his attention to vocal pop music, he went into the studio to record Penthouse Serenade – a quiet, thoughtful instrumental album of standards that the legendary singer recorded with John Collins (guitar), Charlie Harris (bass) and Bunny Shawker (drums), with Jack Costanzo providing percussion support. Produced by Lee Gillette, the album was originally released in September 1952 as a 10-inch LP on Capitol Records. The album confirmed that Nat King Cole, despite his commercial success in the vocal genre, was still an exceptionally talented pianist. In 1955, as the 12-inch LP increasingly dominated the market, Cole recorded four more tracks with Collins, Harris and drummer Lee Young (Lester Young's brother) to release a reissue of Penthouse Serenade, now with 12 tracks – Cole's first full-length LP.
In response to popular demand, AudioNautes Recordings is now presenting the sonically impressive reissue of the 1955 Capitol Records pressing as a UHQCD, which includes both the original mono recordings and the later Duophonic stereo versions. Enjoy “Nat King Cole At The Piano: Penthouse Serenade” in sound quality never heard before – and hurry! This limited edition will sell out fast!

The Ultimate High-Quality CD (UHQCD) From The Original Master Tape. All UHQ-CD album titles come from analogue master reel tapes, not from a digital master. All of them from a copy of the original master tapes. All of them, analogue mastered, full and pure analogue pathway, then converted in a digital 16-44 format. The series has a gold hot stamp on the cover, that's why the code name is simply "Gold Series".

All About Ultimate High-Quality CD (UHQCD):
UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analogue master tapes.
UHQCD Features:
- From Original Master Tape
- Superior Crystal Sound
- Numbered Limited Edition
- Made in Japan
- Ultimate High-Quality CD
- XRCD-Like Luxury Digipak
- Playable On Conventional CD players
- Produced in Italy (Import)
About AudioNautes Recordings:
The name AudioNautes Recordings will almost certainly be familiar to trade show enthusiasts from the HIGH END in Munich: For many years, Fabio Camorani’s company (as well as Camorani’s second technology company AudioNemesis, which he runs together with Giuseppe Intorrella) has been one of the regulars at Europe’s leading hi-fi show. However, AudioNautes has long since become synonymous not only with first-class amplifiers, turntables and loudspeakers with insider tip status, but also, with its subsidiary AudioNautes Recordings (ANR), with selected records of the highest quality.
