Our Take

Nat Adderley, the cheeky chappy of the jazz world, brings us not one, not two, but four classic albums in this box set extravaganza. From the smooth melodies of "Thats Nat" to the toe-tapping tunes of "Introducing Nat Adderley," this collection is a delightful journey through the musical stylings of this underrated legend.

On "To The Ivy League," Adderley shows off his versatility with a collection of soulful tracks that are as sophisticated as a well-aged bottle of wine. The brass sections are a highlight, adding a touch of elegance to each composition.

But it's on "Much Brass" where Adderley truly shines, showcasing his mastery of the trumpet and his ability to effortlessly blend elements of soul, funk, and jazz into one cohesive sound. The brass sections are big, bold, and brassy, making for a truly immersive listening experience.

Overall, this collection is a must-have for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their musical horizons. Nat Adderley's charm and talent shine through on each album, making this box set a delightful addition to any music lover's collection. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Nat Adderley serenade you with his smooth, soulful sounds. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Nat Adderley

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."
