Description: When alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley culled together this quartet, he grabbed three champions from seemingly disparate schools to complement his flinty solos: Miles Davis, the king of cool; Art Blakey, the thundering force of hard bop; Hank Jones, a veteran of swing; and Sam... |

A Keeper:My teenage step-daughter is an aspiring jazz vocalist who can't live without this CD. In fact, she's lost it twice, so I've recently bought it for her again for the third time. |
 | At the Lighthouse [Read More ...]
Review: A hot performance:Out of the first 3 quintet albums, this is probably my favorite. Them Dirty Blues was a very nice album, but Cannonball probably realized that this band was at its best and most intense on stage. That reflects itself pretty clearly in the amazing album opener,... |

 | Them Dirty Blues [Read More ...]
Description: It goes without saying that Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was one of the best blues players in jazz. Just ask his ex-boss Miles Davis. This 1960 date features the musician with his brother, cornetist Nat, bassist Sam Jones, drummer Louis Hayes, and either Bobby Timmons or Barry Ha... |

Review: Solid but unremarkable all-star meeting:This is one of the more unremarkable and bland Cannonball albums I've heard. It was his first recording with Victor Feldman, who would briefly take over the group's piano seat until Joe Zawinul's arrival, and also features one of only two ... |

Review: Cannonball Plays (Mostly) Standards:This is a really nice album. It's a little mellower and less overtly funky than many of the albums Cannonball would later record with the quintet. Instead, what you have is Cannonball and two rhythm sections working their way through a set of... |
 | Jazz Workshop Revisited [Read More ...]
Description: Adderley's burning 1959 live recording In San Francisco was something of a hit for the altoist and his quintet. Fully aware of the high standards they'd set, Cannon and producer Orrin Keepnews decided to return to the Jazz Workshop three years later for another hard-swinging affa... |

Review: This album is way better than those other reviews say:IF YOU LIKE CANNONBALL THEN YOULL LIKE THIS DISC. SIMPLE. THE TIME, THE PLACE, THE CROWD, THE PREACHIN, THATS JUST AS MUCH A PART OF THE MUSIC AS THE INSTRUMENTS. CANNONBALL DOESNT SEPARATE MUSIC FROM THE PEOPLE AND FROM CULTU... |

Review: You can't go wrong with live Cannonball from this period:The two Cannonball gigs on this CD were part of a series of radio broadcasts from the Half Note club in NYC during the mid-60s. Cannonball's playing, and that of his group, was constantly improving during this period, and ... |

Review: Good Stuff:I'm a fan of Cannonball Adderley, I really am. He's one of the best saxophonists who ever lived. This gives a variety of different ways he played, and with a great song sack O' Woe, Mercy,Mercy,Mercy, The Jive Samba, and The Chocolate Nuisance. Great CD. However, the b... |

Review: Really Cool:I am really enjoying this. I heard the cut "I Can't Get Started" on KCSM, and I had to have this. The solo has a cool lick that I believe Phil Woods later lifted and used in Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are". The whole CD is pretty good, but track three sounds like ... |
