Love! was the feeling that the African American singer and pianist Nat King Cole distilled into his songs when he played them; it was the emotion he felt when white and black people came together to listen to him at his concerts around the world; it was what he irradiated from the television screen when he became the first African American singer in history to host a television programme and a role model against racism. Today, Anthus and his jazz group wish to express all their Love! by paying tribute to this universal star through their own arrangements of his songs. With touches of swing, latin jazz and fascinating ballads, Anthus Quintet shows us this artist's revolutionary image, a soul who talked to us in his own voice about the most extraordinary emotion that a human being can feel. A programme that seeks to awaken Love! in everyone who wishes to rediscover the African American crooner.
