Nat Adderley We Remember Cannon CD

Recorded live at the Moonwalker Club, Aarburg, Switzerland on November 18, 1989. Includes liner notes by Mike Hennessey.

Cornetist Nat Adderley is in better shape than usual on this spirited live date with his quintet. Utilizing altoist Vincent Herring (who sounds pretty close in spots to Cannonball Adderley), pianist Art Resnick, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, Adderley is in fine form on "I'll Remember April," "Unit 7," the inevitable "Work Song," and "Autumn Leaves." Herring has "Soul Eyes" as his feature, there are plenty of witty and informative verbal introductions by Adderley to the audience about the songs, and the rhythm section is quite complementary. A worthy effort. ~ Scott Yanow

Stella By StaJazzTimes (10/95, p.106) - "...this ebullient set...captures young alto saxophonist Vincent Herring in a particularly Cannonball Adderley-like mood....His blustery approach is matched by rippling technique....Nat is in witty, excitable form with punchy, speech-like phrases..."
