Original Released on LP Capitol W 689 (1956)
This is a spectacularly colourful and Cole-erful all-piano instrumental album. The royal digits flash across the keyborad with more joyful abandon than in anything Cole had recorded since the 1940s. Nelson Riddle's orchestra proves to be the most perfect partner that Cole would have after Oscar Moore and Johnny Miller. In effect, PIANO STYLE is a double whammy - some of his best keyborad work and in a completely unique setting. The pianist is obviously inspired by the new format, and responds with some of his most animated and inspired playing. As Cole said at the time, «this is the first real serious piano work I've done in a long time»
