Album Review: Nat Adderley - Don't Look Back
As I listened to Nat Adderley's latest offering, "Don't Look Back," I couldn't help but feel like I was transported back to a time when jazz was king and trumpets reigned supreme. This album is a sweet dose of nostalgia wrapped in a modern package, with Adderley's signature smooth trumpet playing taking centre stage.
From the moment the first notes of the opening track hit my ears, I was hooked. Adderley's playing is effortless, each note ringing out with a clarity that is truly mesmerising. The band behind him provides the perfect backdrop, with tight rhythms and playful melodies that keep the listener engaged from start to finish.
One standout track on the album is "Swingin' in the Frost," a jaunty number that will have you tapping your foot and bobbing your head in no time. Adderley's trumpet soars over the lively rhythm section, showcasing his incredible skill and mastery of the instrument.
Overall, "Don't Look Back" is a joyous romp through the world of jazz, filled with infectious energy and undeniable talent. Nat Adderley has once again proven why he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy.
So go ahead, give "Don't Look Back" a listen. I promise you won't regret it. In fact, you may just find yourself hitting repeat and never looking back.

About the artist
Nat Adderley Septet
Nat Adderley, the lesser-known brother of jazz legend Cannonball Adderley, may not have the same level of recognition, but his impact on the genre is undeniable. With a career spanning over five decades, Adderley's trumpet playing has been praised for its soulful tone and innovative approach. Born in Tampa, Florida in 1931, Adderley first gained recognition as a member of his brother's quintet in the 1950s. His unique style and melodic improvisations quickly set him apart from his peers, earning him a reputation as one of the most talented trumpeters in the jazz world. Adderley's discography is a testament to his versatility as an artist, with albums ranging from traditional hard bop to more experimental fusion. His collaborations with artists like Yusef Lateef, Woody Shaw, and Joe Zawinul showcase his ability to adapt to different styles while still maintaining his signature sound. Despite his success as a musician, Adderley's quirky personality and offbeat sense of humour have endeared him to fans and critics alike. Known for his fondness for wearing brightly coloured suits and his penchant for telling corny jokes on stage, Adderley always brings a sense of fun and levity to his performances. In an industry that often takes itself too seriously, Nat Adderley is a breath of fresh air. His music may not always be the most technically complex or groundbreaking, but it is always full of heart and soul. As one critic aptly put it, "Listening to Nat Adderley is like having a conversation with an old friend – familiar, comforting, and always a good time."
