Cannonball Adderley: The Cannonball Adderley Quintet In San Francisco

Read "The Cannonball Adderley Quintet In San Francisco" reviewed by Samuel Chell


In the late 1950s and early 1960s, alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley enjoyed his greatest popularity as measured by the commercial success of Riverside releases featuring his own group with his brother Nathaniel on cornet. The sessions were frequently recorded live, including spoken introductions by the ebullient leader, presenting some “accessible" tunes, and spotlighting at least one ...

Cannonball Adderley Quintet: The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco

Read "The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco" reviewed by David Rickert


You'd be hard pressed to find a more soulful and swinging group in 1959 than the Cannonball Adderley Quintet. Apparently lots of others thought so too, for the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco, where this live set was recorded, was standing room only, with people who couldn't get into the club lined up outside just to ...

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet: The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco

Read "The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco" reviewed by Jim Santella


Reissued as part of Concord's Keepnews Collection, this classic Riverside album has stood the test of time. Brothers Julian “Cannonball Adderley and Nat Adderley had a terrific quintet going when they hit San Francisco in 1959 for a four-week run at The Jazz Workshop. They had soul, they had rhythm, and they had blues. This is ...

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley: Why Am I Treated So Bad!

Read "Why Am I Treated So Bad!" reviewed by Chris May


By the time Why Am I Treated So Bad! was recorded over three sessions in March and July 1967, Cannonball Adderley's joyous soul jazz had begun to develop a rictus. Things could still get greasy, but the music was starting to get formulaic around the edges. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!, recorded by the same lineup in 1966, ...

Cannonball Adderley: Great Sessions

Read "Great Sessions" reviewed by Chris May


A less cohesive and chronologically compact collection than the others in Blue Note/Capitol's new budget priced Great Sessions series, Cannonball Adderley's set offers a potpourri of three albums recorded for Blue Note, Riverside and Capitol between 1958 and 1966, charting the saxophonist's trajectory from blues-drenched Charlie Parker disciple to soul-jazz pioneer. The cream in the coffee, ...

Cannonball Adderley: Domination

Read "Domination" reviewed by Chris May


Domination is a curious curate's egg of an album, not previously available on CD, and some of it bears considerable historical interest. Tracks 1-8, recorded in '65 and originally released as Domination, feature Cannonball and Nat Adderley over big band charts arranged by Oliver Nelson. The twenty-minute closing track, recorded in '70, features the two Adderleys ...

Cannonball Adderley: Live Session

Read "Live Session" reviewed by Andrew Rowan


The two sessions that comprise this reissue were recorded live in Los Angeles at the Lighthouse ('64) and Memory Lane ('62), offering a snapshot of the era's mainstream offerings. Not as well known as Adderley's work with Nancy Wilson, this session is nonetheless a worthy companion. Eschewing the standards route with the sleek and ...

G.Org: A New Kind of Blue

Read "A New Kind of Blue" reviewed by John Kelman


Paying homage can be risky business, especially when the source is as seminal as Miles Davis' classic Kind of Blue. Comparisons are not just begged, they're expected. And how can anyone hope to capture the same magic? Or the confluence of events that put Davis, Julian “Cannonball" Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers ...
