By Nat "King" Cole. By Eden Ahbez. Arranged by James Pybus. This edition: pdf. Chamber, Contest, Festival, Film/TV, Jazz, Standards. 16 pages. James Pybus #1166395. Published by James Pybus (A0.1595361).Nature Boy is a song first recorded by American jazz singer Nat King Cole. It was released on March 29, 1948, as a single by Capitol Records and later appeared on the 1961 album The Nat King Cole Story. Composer Eden Ahbez wrote it as a tribute to Bill Pester, who practiced the Naturmensch and Lebensreform philosophies adopted by Ahbez. The lyrics of the song relate to a 1940s Los Angeles–based group called "Nature Boys," a subculture of proto-hippies of which Ahbez was a member. In 1999, the song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award. Many artists have recorded Nature Boy, including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, Lady Gaga, Peggy Lee, Miles Davis, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion and many others. The song also has appeared in several movie soundtracks; it features prominently in Baz Lurhmann's film Moulin Rouge. This arrangement for SATB Saxophone Quartet gives each voice a leading role and will enhance many concert programs and performance opportunities. The duration is 2:41.
