Music reviews of Work Song
Music Review: The Groove is Held
Rating: 5 Stars
Before Endorsing this album I will comment that no matter how many times someone says an album is over-rated it doesn't or shouldn't have to effect the quality of the album. I must note that I am not at all trying to be a hypocrite.
"Work song", besides often being one of the first few tunes in a beggining jazz musician's repetoire, is a bluesy piece meant to evoke the sort of call-and-response feel heard in many elements of black church music, blues, and jazz.
Nat, whose work is often overshadowed by the success of his brother altoist "Cannonball" who was Nats main employer, is one of the few Bop cornetists, an instrument which is usually replaced by a flugelhorn as a trumpeters second choice. His sidemen are also very sophisticated musicians who have all worked with Nat many times before in Canonball's groups. Wes montgomery is a very honest guitar player which is to say that he plays what he feels. Bobby Timmons, an Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers member, is composer of many fine soul-jazz pieces such as "Moanin'", "Dat Dere'", etc. Sam Jones who is usually a bassist plays cello in a sort of funky pizzacatto style and bass on one tune. Ketter Betts and Percy Heath are the two main bassists and both provide stable foundations for the soloists.
Louis Hayes, is another member of Adderleys Group and plays drums more in the Philly Joe Jones/Max roach style. "Fall out" is an intersting track; after Timmons and Adderley take solos, Jones takes a cello solo and then Hayes takes a chorus on drums, during the drums solo, Betts and Jones switch instruments and Betts takes the second Cello solo. All the material is in the Bop/Soul-jazz category and doesn't give the players any hard chord changes to deal with.
"Work Song" is a good-feel record so get it and start feelin' good!
Description of Work Song
Japanese limited edition issue of the album classic in a deluxe, miniaturized LP sleeve replica of the original vinyl album artwork.Rather than develop a rivalry with his older brother Cannonball, cornetist Nat Adderley spent most of his first 20 years in jazz making vital contributions (as soloist and composer) to Cannonball's quintet. At various points, however, the younger Adderley reached significant heights with his own outings, including this 1960 gem. Perhaps in search of a distinctive sound, he adds Sam Jones's pizzicato cello to the frontline on five sextet tunes, effectively complementing his own glowing cornet and the guitar artistry of Wes Montgomery. In contrast, he also offers a pair of dreamy ballads with only Montgomery and Jones (on bass) behind him. Everyone from Tennessee Ernie Ford to Bobby Darin would cover Adderley's original title track. Nat's "Fallout," Cannonball's "Sack of Woe," and Jones's "Scrambled Eggs," all featuring the full sextet, find Adderley at his funkiest and also showcase Jones's lively cello. -- Marc Greilsamer
