His mother, Perlina Coles, who was the church choir director, taught him to play the piano at the age of 4. In 1921, the family moved to Chicago in search of a better life in a prosperous northern town. Nat fell in love with the inescapable sound of Chicago jazz. Mastering the piano at a young age was central to his artistic development. As a teenager, Cole developed his own style, adding a touch of blues.His unique playing style and sexy baritone voice were fully formed when he moved from Chicago to Los Angeles. (1/2)
