Cannonball Adderley "Work Song" (1962)

"Work Song" is a Nat Adderley composition.

Cannonball In Europe! was recorded live on August 5, 1962 at the International Jazz Festival in Comblain-La-Tour, a small town in Belgium. The recent addition of legendary reedsman Yusef Lateef pushed Adderleys combo to a powerful sextet. With three horns blazing (Lateef, brother Nat Adderley on trumpet and Cannonball on alto sax), the band charged through a stunning concert in front of the largest audience it had ever played. The five song, 50 minute set blasts off with Lateefs complex "P.Bouk" and never lets up. Favorites "Gemini" and "Work Song" are played with fire and passion.

I have to say that sound he makes with the trumpet is amazing

Some college (I forget which) did a study to determine which jazz musician swings the hardest. Turns out it was Cannonball. :)

@Goku49extra You are right - Nat is playing on a cornet

Best version on "Live At The Lighthouse" - probably the best album.

@SREproducciones Well... it is in many cases, down in the core.
