The Good Stuff

Nat Adderley

WORK SONG

Riverside / OJC        1960 / 1989

Notes: "Cornet, cello, and guitar make up a front line that will probably never be duplicated.  The guitarist was his friend Wes Montgomery, just emerging towards Jazz stardom; the cellist was the longtime bassist of Cannonball's band, Sam Jones."

Ellington & Coltrane

DUKE ELLINGTON & JOHN COLTRANE

John Coltrane(tenor sax, soprano sax), Duke Ellington(piano), Jimmy Garrison(bass), Aaron Bell(bass), Elvin Jones(drums), Sam Woodyard(drums)

Impulse      1962 /1995

Notes: "Duke Ellington was put into the Jazz world to separate the men from the boys.  His grasp of harmony and instrumental voicing is more advanced than anybody else's in the entire range of Jazz, and the reason why many modern fans are unable to accept him is not that they are too modern for Duke, but that Duke is too modern for them."
