Listener Reviews & Comments
I can't believe I'm the first person to do a customer review of this classic masterpiece. This is indisputedly a towering landmark of the funky, soulful side of jazz, full of bluesy and gospel-drenched flavorings. All of the musicians are outstanding, especially Wes Montgomery at his early best and the late, great Sam Jones. And Nat's ringing, lyrical horn work is in full flower here. "Work Song" is one of the great compositions of all time, covered by countless jazz, blues and rock musicians over the past 40 years. I was deeply saddened to hear of Nat's recent passing. Often overshadowed by his legendary brother Cannonball, Nat deserves his own eternal place in the pantheons of jazz, blues and indeed all great music. This inspiring album proves why.
