Branching Out is an album by jazz cornetist Nat Adderley, released on the Riverside label and featuring performances by Adderley with Johnny Griffin, and the Three Sounds.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Adderley and Griffin made for an exciting frontline". The Penguin Guide to Jazz states: "Branching Out is an attractive enough set, but Griff doesn't seem the right saxophone-player for the gig, too noisy and rapid-fire". | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = | rev2 = The Penguin Guide to Jazz | rev2Score = }}
