Cannonball Adderley performing "Work Song" with Nat Adderley on cornet, Joe Zawinul on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums live on Jazz Scene, 1962.

[@solemandd67]

It's the immediate access to jazz giants like Cannonball that makes me humbled and grateful for the age of the internet and UA-cam in particular.

[@RonCarterBassist]

It's amazing to see so many old gems preserved online. What a wondrous age we live in...

[@courtly5982]

Sadly we would never be able to travel back in the 60s to hear it in person…

Hear, Hear !

Cannonball was a master. Soul, technique, wicked sense of rhythm, phrasing, and timing. Always knows where the blues are. Takin’ us to church! Go ahead Adderley bros, take us all there.

[@kyle11177]

Cannonball Adderley's sound demanded attention. He spoke to be heard. Legendary.

[@j_kickz3]

Cannonball Adderly , to me, is what Jazz Saxophone is supposed to sound like-raucous and on the verge of being out of control

[@aname3017]

Warning: listening to this song on your way to work may result in a speeding ticket.
This is better than any motivational video in the world. 🎶💙🎶

[@femgoo]

the Adderley brothers!! Nat and Julian! Nothing equals them!!

[@tomgray8512]

I cannot understand why jazz is fading away. I first heard this as a teenager in the 60s and just knew that this was it.

[@dreadbos]

Its not fading away

[@turnitr]

It's not fading away, there are people my age who play jazz and I do too, I'm not that advanced but I'm learning it and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Btw I'm 24 y/o

[@MangroveLord]

Not fading bro

[@AlbertWolfe-p9v]

​@@turnitr I second this. Gen Z loves jazz bro. When i find someone who hasnt heard it i show them and 80% of them love it and a lot of my friends started listening to mostly jazz because of me

[@criznash]

jazz will never die

[@jamesh2711]

Cannonball just killing it on that solo, one of my all-time faves.

[@danmcbmusic]

No joke he absolutely nukes it in one chorus. Crushes it.

[@jamesh2711]

@@danmcbmusic Really man, thank God for UA-cam! 🤩

[@postatility9703]

Too often,Cannon's little brother was overlooked. What an incredibly individual player!

[@ericmiller6056]

Not just a great individual player, but also a great song-writer. He's the one who wrote "Work Song".

[@gregdolecki8530]

My favorite all time alto player.

[@AndrewOkus]

When I was in 9th grade I bought " Cannonball's Greatest Hits". I listened to it over and over again. This was in Boca Raton Florida. Believe it or not one week my teacher had to take off and my class got Cannonball and Nat's High school Band teacher. Boy he was tough and strict. I finally got the nerve to ask him if he was Cannonball's teacher. In a very strong and commanding voice he replied " Yes I was Juilian Adderley's teacher!". Boy if I only had him as my Band instructor I would of became great. I tried to play on an old Alto sax with a broken mouthpiece. Forty years later I got that sax fixed for $4.50. I played the horn and it played like butter. I sounded like Bird. Very sadly it wasn't long that I had to have all my rotten teeth removed by an Oral surgeon. Sadly, that's the story of my life. Right as I was about to achieve great success everything fell apart.

[@mcarthurfountain694]

The amount of control these guys have is par excellence

[@na3044]

Man, I want to work like that work song. I wanna cook like that. Holy fuck, this so fucking good.

This is, without a doubt, the most swinging band of all time.

I like Cannonball Adderley best for work songs.

[@ts7049]

ビバップで、ワークソングがかっこよすぎる。初めて聞きました。最高です。

[@test-ut9xy]

First time I listen Cannonball Adderley and his quintet in San Francisco. Really impressed. This is a genius. Strong things guys.

[@mdeasy]

Wow these guys are phenominal! And it just sounds great!!!

[@CWBella]

So great to see Joe's hands.

[@alanyoungjazz]

Swingin'!!!!

[@KalakutaShow1976]

Zawinal without that distinctive mustache..I almost didn't recognize him. Wow! This group was hot!:)

Je suis en 4eme et j apprend la chanson sing,sing,song de Claude Nougaro et la chanson de Cannonball remsemble .

[@PghCrawfords2K]

Keep listening to classic jazz like this and you’ll find many connections to contemporary music and musicians. Very impressive, young scholar!

[@kevinturner5857]

Superb 😍

このリズム感や肺活量だけではない。ビバップでここまで、ワークソングを昇華するとは。本当に、昔のジャズは凄まじい。

Thank you.🙏🎷🔥

[@fabricearias8508]

It's an Oscar Brown Jr song, in the classic LP Sin & Soul (1960)

[@92ninersboy]

Oscar wrote the lyrics - it originally was an instrumental written by Nat Adderley, Cannonball's brother and cornet player in the group.

[@postatility9703]

It's interesting to see an unmustachioed Joe Zawinul

[@huguesduchesne7057]

La classe astronomique de Joe Zawinul est proche du swing de Kenny Kirkland, mes amis :)Follow the White Rabbit :)
