The record
Cornetist Nat Adderley digs into blues-rooted, call-and-response themes with a stacked cast pulling from his brother's circle -- Yusef Lateef's flute and dual guitars from Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery add unusual color to hard-bop terrain. A quietly loaded date that treats the work song as living jazz material, not folklore.
