Cool Nights is a 1991 studio album by American jazz vibraphonist Gary Burton. The album was recorded in the Studio A of the Power Station in New York City. In the accompanying booklet the record label explains that Burton’s music in this album changed direction. This time Burton wanted to play something closer to music of such famous jazz names as Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Carmen McRae. Burton’s friend Pat Metheny did not play for this album but wrote four of the eleven songs.
