On the album, the brothers' playing crackles with boppish exuberance and confidence. They play with warm tones no matter what the pace. Neither seems to reach for notes or struggle to articulate them cleanly. Both players are such fine technicians that their improvisations seem effortless. Nat moves into the upper register a la Diz before firing off the second half of his solo which has not one wasted note.
Some players can swing hard when the tempo is fast but lose the groove when the pace slows a bit.
Not the Adderley brothers. This piece contains what might be Nat's best solo of the date. The cornetist builds excitement by playing with power and crafting some sharp double time runs. Nat's sound on the piece has the same kind of sunny optimism associated with trumpeter Clifford Brown. While the brothers are the main part of the show, the date's success also stems from the excellent rhythm section.
