I never got to see Nat Adderley perform, but I did get to see the Cannonball Adderley Quintet with a young Joe Zawinul on piano and a teenager named Jon Faddis on trumpet at Boston College back in 1969. (Jon is still around doing studio session work in Los Angeles as one of the top high-note trumpet specialists, and Louis Hayes just put out a new recording!).
Cannonball's Quintet was burning that day, as they were back in 1963 when this performance of WORK SONG was recorded. Take a few minutes and enjoy these extended solos. Nat is on fire, and the whole rhythm section has an incredible groove.
Composer: Nat Adderley; Cannonball Adderley:sax; Nat Adderley: tpt; Joe Zawinul: piano; Sam Jones:bass; Louis Hayes: drums.
