Music reviews of Them Dirty Blues

Music Review: C'mon get Dirty and Nasty!!
Rating: 5 Stars

The first four songs on this album are classics. Don't worry if you've never heard anybody refer to them as classics or if you've never heard them yourself. They are classics. "Work Song," "Them Dirty Blues," and "Easy Living," are sincere blues numbers that will undoubtedly make you think of whatever has you down and then they'll pick you right up as well. "Jeanine," the Duke Pearson song, is my personal favorite and I'd rather not say more than that, because I'm afraid I'll botch up with words whatever it is I feel and think about when I hear it. The remaining three songs are great but the first four are really worth every penny. While the main star in the band was obviously Cannonball, his brother Nat plays a mean cornet. Sounding a tinge darker than you might expect on a trumpet, his cornet adds a restrained vibrance that differs from the unbound exuberance of the bop players, and you are glad he does as the music here is never wild. It begs to be heard with a scotch in hand(or maybe that's just me). The brothers have styles that compliment each other so well that you often hear them volley ideas to one another and to the other band memebers, who are; Barry Harris, Bobby Timmons on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums, I mean c'mon now, really, C'MON NOW, these guys are vicious. In all honesty, though, Cannonball plays so nasty and sweet that he commands your attention, especially on "Easy Living." If you don't already have "Something Else," his live albums, or his work with Miles Davis, please, please, do yourself a favor and get these also.

Description of Them Dirty Blues

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Contains the complete original album Them Dirty Blues, one of Cannonball Adderley's strongest efforts of the early 1960s. The LP features his brother Nat, as well as pianists Bobby Timmons and Barry Harris, and contains Cannonball's first versions (one with each pianist) of Nat's celebrated 'Work Song'. The complete Cannonball quintet performance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival has been added as a bonus, including a previously unissued version of 'Del Sasser'. Them Dirty Blues and the Newport set complete all existing collaborations between Cannonball and Barry Harris.
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.
