From Kirk to Nat is an album by pianist Kirk Lightsey that was recorded in 1990 and released by the Dutch Criss Cross Jazz label.

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The AllMusic review states "One of the main reasons why this tribute to the Nat King Cole Trio by Kirk Lightsey is a success is that Lightsey (who is from a much later bop-influenced generation) sounds nothing like Cole ... Lightsey performs a set of music reminiscent of Cole but several of the songs were never actually recorded by Cole; Lightsey takes surprisingly effective vocals on the latter two songs".
