Autobiography (Nat Adderley album)

Autobiography is the ninth album by jazz cornetist Nat Adderley. It was released in 1965 as a vinyl record, his first after moving to Atlantic Records. It includes elements from the genres of soul jazz and hard bop and a performance of what is arguably one of his best-known achievements, "Work Song", which was produced during his time with his brother Cannonball Adderley's second quartet.
