Customer Reviews of Them Dirty Blues
Cannonball in his element Cannonball could play bebop, he could play modal, he could play with strings, he could play anything anyone threw at him. But where he was truly the best, where he was absolutely THE BEST was when playing the blues, and dirty ones at that. As Bill Kirchner (jazz critic) calls it: "sophisticated gutbucket." This album shows Cannonball with his best passionate, hard-swinging soloes, especially on both versions of Work Song, the title track, and Jeanine. Nat's more restrained cornet soloes are a perfect counterweight, and Louis Hayes, Sam Jones, and either Barry Harris or Bobby Timmons (Timmons being my personal preference) in the rhythm section make this a very tight band. Everything is good, except for Cannonball, who is superb. So very soulful.
One good bonus of this cd is that you have 2 versions of Work Song, the first being an up-tempo funk version, and the second a more medium-tempo hard bop version. I actaully prefer the hard bop version, but it's great to hear them both. This is highly recommended.
Cannonball scores a direct hit!
Cannonball Adderley is one of those rare jazz musicians who immediately grabs ahold of your attention with his superior technique and supremely rich imagination. When you combine those traits with the fact he manages to convey a genuine sense of joy in his music, you have one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Based in the language of Charlie Parker, but possessing his own indivduality, this former teacher's powers are on full display throughout this recording. A Capitol re-release of a Riverside lp from 1960, Adderley is backed by his brother Nat on cornet, Louis Hayes on drums, the propulsive Sam Jones on bass, sharing the piano chair are Barry Harris (tracks 1-4) and Bobby Timmons (tracks 5-9). While Nat, Harris, and Timmons all provide high points, it is truly Adderley who is on display, ranging from simmering to a rolling boil his solos here are some of his best on record. A superior blues player, his infectious enthusiasm propels Adderley and company through some of the funkiest tracks this side of Horace Silver. There are no throw away tracks on this cd, but Nat Adderley's Work Song, Timmons' Dat Dere, and Cannonball's own Them Dirty Blues are standouts. This is one of Cannonball's best sessions as a leader, and is easily recommended, just buy it and find out for yourself!
Cannonball's best all around album
This Adderly album is one of the best for a couple reasons. The arrangements are stunning and some are the catchiest swingin' blues taks youll ever hear,every song is a great. And the solos produced by Cannonball, Nat and Sam Jones are spectacular and the best solo's you'll ever hear. This is the essential Cannonball quintet album. and no matter what jazz artist or album I am listening to, I always come back to this one because it is so good. If you are starting or have a collection, this is the one quintet album you should own
