Somethin' Else [RVG Edition]

Somethin' Else [RVG Edition] (1958) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

It isn't too difficult to understand why MFSL considered this album to be a worthy candidate for an Ultradisc reissue -- aside from Cannonball Adderley, you have a lineup that includes Miles Davis, Hank Jones, Sam Jones, and Art Blakey. This is a group that could take on a Barry Manilow number and turn it into a jazz masterpiece. MFSL have done ...

Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley

Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley (1962) more music like this

by Nancy Wilson w/ Cannonball Adderley

An excellent collaboration of the Nancy Wilson voice with the Cannonball Adderley alto sax from the early '60s. While this 1961 recording was the first time Wilson was with Adderley in the studio, it was not the first time they had worked together. After singing with Rusty Bryant's band, Wilson had worked with Adderley in Columbus, OH. (It was ...

Late Night Sax [Rebound]

Late Night Sax [Rebound] (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

When people hear the term "smooth jazz," they usually think of the music heard on NAC stations. But the idea of jazz functioning as smooth, soft, romantic mood music isn't something new -- back in the swing era, Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" (1939) and Artie Shaw's 1940 recording of "Stardust" (just to give two examples) showed the world how ...

Them Dirty Blues

Them Dirty Blues (1960) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Recorded in early 1960, Them Dirty Blues contains two classic jazz compositions: Nat Adderley's "Work Song" and Bobby Timmons' "Dat Dere," the sequel to "This Here." This was alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley's second quintet with brother Nat Adderley (cornet), and features Bobby Timmons on piano (who plays on four tracks and was replaced by ...

Julian Cannonball Adderley

Julian Cannonball Adderley (1956) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (nicknamed for his estimable appetite, related to high school friends who called him a cannibal) made his debut in the jazz world with this album, with enormous help from Quincy Jones, who assembled the band, lent arrangements, and composed many of the selections. It's clear from the outset that Adderley's main ...

The Best of Cannonball Adderley: The Capitol Years

The Best of Cannonball Adderley: The Capitol Years (1991) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Thanks to its ownership of some of Cannonball Adderley's Riverside recordings, Capitol was able to stretch the definition of Best of Cannonball Adderley: The Capitol Years a bit in this hits collection. Beginning with a pair of live Riverside tracks from Adderley's short-lived sextet with Yusef Lateef ("Work Song," "Jive Samba"), the CD enters the ...

The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever

The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever may boast a silly title, but it's hard to argue with what's on this double-disc sampler. Not all of the label's greatest artists are here, but everything is representative, showing how hard bop like John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" coexisted with soul-jazz from Grant Green ( ...

Country Preacher "Live" at Operation Breadbasket

Country Preacher "Live" at Operation Breadbasket (1969) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley Quartet

The Reverend Jesse Jackson gives an inspiring brief speech to open the festivities, and the Quintet begins with "Walk Tall," a lively jazz/R&B number. Named in honor of Jackson "Country Preacher" and written by keyboardist Joe Zawinul, the changing tempo tribute has two contrasting grooves: one's sad and reflective, the other happy and boisterous. ...

Phenix

Phenix (1975) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Adderley's next-to-last recording (cut just four months before he died of a stroke at age 46) was ironically a retrospective of his career. While his then-current group (with cornetist Nat Adderley, keyboardist Mike Wolff, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Roy McCurdy) was featured on half of this two-LP set (highlighted by "Stars Fell on Alabama ...

Sophisticated Swing: The EmArcy Small Group Sessions (1995) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Reissued in this two-CD set are all of the recordings from the first Cannonball Adderley Quintet, a group that despite its talents failed commercially. With Cannonball on alto, cornetist Nat Adderley, pianist Junior Mance, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, it is surprising that the group did not make it, but the Adderleys were fairly ...

Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco [Remastered Bonus Tracks]

Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco [Remastered Bonus Tracks] (1959) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley Quintet

Cannonball Adderley had struggled unsuccessfully with a quintet between 1955 and 1957, giving up for a time to play with Miles Davis' group. In 1959 his new quintet suddenly caught on with the release of this very exciting live album, which has been reissued on CD in the Original Jazz Classics series. With cornetist Nat Adderley, pianist Bobby ...

Cannonball Takes Charge [Expanded] (1959) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley Quintet

Cannonball Adderley is in top form on this 1959 release, which was originally issued by Riverside. Joined by pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb (his bandmates at the time in the Miles Davis Sextet), the alto saxophonist delivers a soulful "I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry" and a brisk treatment of "I've Told ...

At the Lighthouse

At the Lighthouse (2001) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

The cool jazz that Miles Davis was forging around the same time gets more critical ink, but when a layman thinks about Jazz with a capital "J," the music that comes to mind probably sounds a lot like this 1960 club date from the Cannonball Adderley Quintet. Throughout the set (which now includes a previously unreleased bonus track, the aptly ...

Fiddler on the Roof [Bonus Tracks]

Fiddler on the Roof [Bonus Tracks] (1964) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

It is a bit strange that none of the eight songs performed on this LP found their way into Adderley's permanent repertoire, for the altoist is quite inspired throughout this surprising set. With strong assists from cornetist Nat Adderley, Charles Lloyd on tenor and flute, pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Louis Hayes and producer ...

Spontaneous Combustion (2006) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

This valuable set features altoist Cannonball Adderley's first recordings, cut just days after the unknown had greatly impressed musicians when he sat in with Oscar Pettiford's group at the Cafe Bohemia. He is quite impressive throughout, holding his own in an all-star octet led by drummer Kenny Clarke with trumpeter Donald Byrd, brother Nat on ...

While the material on volume four of Rhino's rock instrumentals set chronologically preceded what was on the third volume, no soul, R&B, or even soul-jazz and funk fan should mind these 18 genuine classics, including two superb numbers from Booker T. and the MGs, seminal tracks by the Mar-Keys, Bar-Kays, and Cannonball Adderley, and great Latin ...

Cannonball and Coltrane

Cannonball and Coltrane (1959) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley & John Coltrane

This LP (whose contents have been reissued many times) features the Miles Davis Sextet of 1959 without the leader. Altoist Cannonball Adderley and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane really push each other on these six selections, with this version of "Limehouse Blues" really burning. Coltrane's very serious sound is a striking contrast to the ...

Cannonball Adderley is in generally good form on this 1974 recording. His Quintet at the time featured cornetist Nat Adderley, keyboardist Hal Galper, bassist Walter Booker and drummer Roy McCurdy. Guests on some selections include guitarist Phil Upchurch, keyboardist George Duke and (on "Bess, Oh Where's My Bess") veteran pianist Jimmy Jones. The ...

by Cannonball Adderley

Ballads is a lovely collection of Cannonball Adderley's work on Blue Note from the late '50s to the mid-'60s. Since the nine selections have been taken from nine different albums, the personnel varies widely. The overall mood and approach, however, remain uniform. On "Now I Have Everything" flutist Charles Lloyd, pianist Joe Zawinul, and cornet ...

by Cannonball Adderley

Cannonball Plays Zawinul represents the exquisite fruits of the musical relationship between saxophonist Cannonball Adderley and pianist/composer Joe Zawinul. Recorded between 1961 and 1971, all cuts were either written or co-written by Zawinul, and, except for one piece ("Dr. Honorus Causa"), he also serves as part of the various combos. All of ...
