4 STARS JAZZWISE MAGAZINE, april 2011

The complete original album "Them Dirty Blues" (RLP12-322), one of Cannonball Adderley’s strongest efforts of the early 1960s. The LP features his brother Nat, as well as pianists Bobby Timmons and Barry Harris, and contains Cannonball’s first versions (one with each pianist) of Nat’s celebrated “Work Song”. The complete Cannonball quintet performance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival has been added as a bonus, including a previously unissued version of “Del Sasser”. "Them Dirty Blues" and the Newport set complete all existing collaborations between Cannonball and Barry Harris.
