We Say...
A fiery alto saxophonist who blended Charlie Parker's dexterity with R&B backbeat and gospel sweat, Cannonball Adderley took his so-hot-they're-cool quintet into San Francisco's Jazz Workshop in October 1959 — just a few months after he cut Kind of Blue with Miles Davis — and stirred up as sophisticated a brew as anyone might have hoped for. Copasetic bandmates (including his brother Nat on cornet and Bobby Timmons on piano); a grinding, rollicking, yet airily carefree songbook (including Timmons' soulful "This Here" and Randy Weston's "Hi-Fly"); a great acoustic space.

They Say...
Cannonball Adderley had struggled unsuccessfully with a quintet during 1955-1957, 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 Timmons, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Louis Hayes, Cannonball had the top new jazz group of 1959. Their version of Timmons' "This Here" was a major hit, and the other numbers on this famous date (which include "Spontaneous Combustion," "Hi-Fly," "You Got It," "Bohemia After Dark," and "Straight, No Chaser") are also quite enjoyable, showing why Adderley's group was a pacesetter in funky soul-jazz and proving that they could outswing most of their competition. This gem is essential for all jazz collections.
