After Midnight is a 1957 jazz album by " Nat King Cole and his trio" on Capitol Records. It peaked at #13 on the U.S. Billboard Pop Albums chart. The Penguin Guide to Jazz listed the album as part of its suggested “core collection”. [3]
Initially, the album was released in a 33rpm LP version as well as in a set of four (7 inch) 45rpm discs. In 1987, five previously unreleased tracks recorded at the same original sessions were added as bonus tracks to the Capitol Records CD re-release titled, The Complete After Midnight Sessions. Some later re-issues, under the title, After Midnight, The Complete Session or simply, After Midnight, also include one or more alternate take(s) with the 17 songs from the original 1956 recording sessions. [4] [5] There are also at least three other reissues with 18, 19 and 21 tracks.
