The Nat Adderley, Jr. Band will make their way to the sacred stage of Sista’s Place (456 Nostrand Avenue) on November 4. Fortunately, the arranger, pianist, and songwriter has dodged the disastrous fate of being categorized. Some refer to him as a jazz musician whose bands are saturated in jazz rhythms with a flair of soul and his performance dates with violinist Regina Carter and saxophonist Vincent Herring. But R&B and pop folks call attention to his many years as musical director for the incomparable song stylist Luther Vandross.

Some of Adderley’s lyrics for the singer include “Stop to Love,” “Wait for Love,” and “Give Me the Reason.” Some of his many arrangements include “So Amazing,” “If Only for One Night,” and “Never Too Much.” His many projects keep him crossing a variety of genres, such as composing “The Wave” for Kirk Whalum, arranging Natalie Cole’s 1987 recording of “When I Fall In Love,” producing “Just Another Lonely Night” for Johnny Gill, arranging Aretha Franklin’s album Jump to It, producing Gloria Lynne’s album No Detour Ahead, and producing “That’s How Heartaches are Made” for the Temptations.

Adderley says his early influences were Chick Corea, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk. To be sure, from adolescence, his father cornetist Nat, Sr. and his uncle “Cannonball” mentored him. Today, he carries their love for soul jazz in the tradition of tunes like “Hummin’” and “Jive Samba,” all now standards penned by his father. The same can be said for his Vandross lyrics, which are now also standards on the R&B side.

Adderley’s one-night stand at Sista’s Place will be an evening filled with rollicking excitement from genre to genre. (By Ron Scott, Reprinted from The Amsterdam News)
