This Nat Adderley interview was so insightful and entertaining. The Adderley brothers have been my jazz superheroes for many decades, this interview was a gem on their many accomplishments over the years. NA speaking on the future of jazz is a beacon for young musicians to follow.

Thanks for the comment. I am in the Adderley "jazz superheroes" club as well and have been since the late 60s. You might enjoy our podcast, “Jazz Backstory,” based on excerpts from these interviews and includes Nat excerpts. It is available on major podcast providers. Monk
