Nice stuff....Barry Harris?

There's an even better concert from the sextet with Yusef Lateef on Utube (in Germany 1963). Some great playing from all. Nat esp. tends to be overlooked these days.

I'm pretty sure it's Barry Harris, but is it Louis Hayes on drums? Doesn't really sound like him - compare the playing with that on the Jazz Workshop album recorded in San Francisco. That album is my favourite Adderley Bros session, and This Here (Dis Here) is the standout track, from Cannonball's hilarious intro (Know what I mean? Know what I mean?) to the terrific piano solo by Bobby Timmons (another greatly underrated musician). It swings like b*ggery, too.

It was Louis Hayes. Hes a hell of drummer. I saw him with McCoy Tyner in 85 and he was astounding. Elvin like attack and complexity.

Yep, it's Barry Harris. This track, 'Del Sasser', along with excellent versions of Nat Adderley's 'Work Song' & Tadd Dameron's 'Stay On It' from the 1960 Newport J.F. can be found as bonus tracks on a recent CD reissue(2011) 'Them Dirty Blues'(ESSENTIAL JAZZ CLASSIC EJC 55485) which, allegedly, includes all of Cannonball's recordings with Barry Harris.
