Review

It goes without saying that Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was one of the best blues players in jazz. Just ask his ex-boss Miles Davis. This 1960 date features the musician with his brother, cornetist Nat, bassist Sam Jones, drummer Louis Hayes, and either Bobby Timmons or Barry Harris on piano. Simply put, this is a textbook on how to swing the blues, whether on ballads such as "Easy Living" and George Gershwin's "Soon," or on the dancing hard bop number, "Work Song," Timmons's gospel-tinged "Dat Dere" and Duke Pearson's melodic classic, "Jeannine." Cannonball's sax lines combine the best of Benny Carter and Charlie Parker, contrasted by his brother's in-the-pocket cornet solos. The title track reveals the down-home roots of this Florida-born musician, who always carried the South in him. --Eugene Holley Jr.
