Artist:Cannonball Adderley
Song:Work Song
Album:Them Dirty Blues
Alto sax player Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was a little more commercial than most jazz musicians and therefore more popular. This is probably because Capitol Records wanted him to be more commercial as they were not known for jazz. Work Song written by his trumpeter brother Nat Adderley is a classic and one of his best known songs. Other musicians include Bobby Timmins on piano, Sam Jones on bass & Louis Hayes on drums. Them Dirty Blues was his first record for Capitol and consisted of master tapes he brought with him when Riverside Records went broke. Cannonball Adderley died at age 47 in 1975 of a stroke.
