Cornetist Nat Adderley's debut for Riverside (reissued on CD in the OJC series) was recorded about a year before he permanently rejoined his brother Cannonball Adderley's Quintet. Teamed with tenor-saxophonist Johnny Griffin and the Three Sounds (the popular soul jazz rhythm section comprised of pianist Gene Harris, bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Bill Dowdy), Nat is in excellent form on such tunes as "Well You Needn't," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "I Never Knew" in addition to two of his lesser-known originals. Adderley and Griffin made for an exciting frontline.

Songs by Maddalena Casulana, Giulio Cesare Barbetta, Vincenzo Capriola, Francesco da Milano, Baldassarre Donato, Paolo Fonghetti, Stefano Lando, Pietro da Lodi, Giacomo Gorzanis-The interpreters of this CD have compiled a small musical zoology based on the "Fables" of Leonardo da Vinci and the "Bestiario", in turn based on the "Historia Naturale" by Plinio. The vocal passages that constitute the sound commentary to the Leonardesque writings contain various references to the animal world, while the Researchers and Fantasies for lute alone are interspersed as preludes or interludes to the sequnza of the compositions.
