Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and producer. Born on September 15, 1928 in Tampa, Florida, USA, he had a rambunctious attitude towards life but was incredibly prolific as a musician. With hundreds of releases to his name, Adderley worked with various jazz groups and recorded his own compositions with different ensembles.

Adderley's talent extended beyond himself; he was the brother of jazz cornet/trumpet player Nat Adderley and the uncle of jazz keyboardist Nat Adderley Jr. His influence can be heard in the music of similar artists such as Dexter Gordon, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet, Oliver Nelson, Hank Mobley, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, Kenny Dorham, Sonny Stitt,
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers,
Joe Henderson,
Sonny Clark,
Clifford Brown,
Horace Silver,
Lee Morgan,
Jackie McLean,

Bud Powell,
Art Pepper,

Back In Stock

“Is that what you wanted, Alfred?” we hear in Miles Davis’ unmistakable rasp at the end of “One for Daddy-O,” making it clear that the legendary (and assertive) trumpeter was not just playing the role of sideman on Somethin’ Else, the sole Blue Note album by Cannonball Adderley. The alto saxophonist was a member of Davis’ band at the time and the depth of their musical camaraderie lifts this session up to rarefied heights throughout, from the breath-taking performance of “Autumn Leaves” that opens the album to the thrilling call-and-response theme of the title track. Pianist Hank Jones, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Blakey round out the quintet on this timeless classic. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
