About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

This CD reissue brings back a near-classic by cornetist Nat Adderley. Utilizing a cornet-cello-guitar front line (with Sam Jones and Wes Montgomery) along with a top-notch rhythm section (pianist Bobby Timmons, Percy Heath, or Keter Betts on bass and drummer Louis Hayes), Adderley performs a fine early version of his greatest hit ("Work Song") and helps introduce Cannonball Adderley's "Sack O' Woe." Four songs use a smaller group with Timmons absent on "My Heart Stood Still" (which finds Keter Betts on cello and Jones on bass), "Mean to Me" featuring Nat backed by Montgomery, Betts, and Hayes, and two ballads ("I've Got a Crush on You" and "Violets for Your Furs") interpreted by the Adderley-Montgomery-Jones trio. No matter the setting, Nat Adderley is heard throughout in peak form, playing quite lyrically. Highly recommended. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

January 31, 2002: When Nat Adderly put together this ensemble, he wanted to try something funky. The front line he ended up with (cornet, cello, and electric guitar) is funky not in the sense that we think of today, but funky in that no one else had ever thought to utilize these three instruments such as Adderly does on this fine record. ''Work Song'' finds cornetist/bandleader Adderly, celloist/bassist Sam Jones, and guitarist Wes Montgomery in good form. I highly recommend this album.
