All-Music Guide Biography
Few saxophonists were able to combine popularity and artistry better
than Cannonball Adderley. A music teacher from Fort Lauderdale,
Adderley moved to New York in 1955. Arriving very shortly after the
death of Charlie Parker, he forged a sound that displayed not only
aspects of Bird but also the influence of Benny Carter, Louis Jordan,
and Eddie Cleanhead Vinson. Adderley had a full, rounded tone, and
could play beautiful ballads or swirling, blistering tempos. In later
years Adderley's band became very popular through his incorporation
of blues, R&B, and gospel elements, but above all else he was a
champion of melody and one of the greatest ballad stylists ever. He
had his own band with his brother Nat from 1956-1957, then joined
Miles Davis from 1957-1959, appearing on some of Davis's greatest
masterpieces of the era, among them KIND OF BLUE and MILESTONES. From
1959 until his death, he once again led groups with his brother. His
groups included such distinguished alumni as Yusef Lateef, Charles
Lloyd, Sam Jones, Joe Zawinul, and George Duke. The 1967 song "Mercy,
Mercy, Mercy" was a sizable pop hit. ~ Ron Wynn

------- AMG Album Reviews -------
An anthology that presents early Cannonball Adderley material, showing
him in the developmental stages sounding more like Charlie Parker than
he would once he cemented a style. The songs are more in straight,
almost rigid hard bop setting, but are instructive in displaying even
at this point the fluidity and spark that characterized his alto
playing throughout his career. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

------- AMG Album Reviews -------
Decent anthology of Cannonball Adderley's mid and late period
material, weighted toward both recognizable, popular soul-jazz
material and the shorter, less involved songs with plenty of hard
charging solos by Cannonball, Nat and the crew. Like most
compilations, it provides a good introduction to his work, and works
best for those with limited knowledge. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

A 1990 reissue of songs that were newly discovered at that time.
They're alternate takes or fresh works that were previously unissued.
As such, it's interesting to note most of Cannonball Adderley's solos
are as explosive and enticing as those that appeared on cuts that did
make it onto album. There aren't any lost masterpieces, but also very
little that's tedious or tepid. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Though the nine songs on this new Cannonball Adderly reissue were
originally done live at concerts in Japan and San Francisco in 1963,
they nevertheless make a nice tribute to recently departed jazz giant
Dizzy Gillespie. The assembled group was among the finest Adderly ever
led, with Yusef Lateef proving a dynamic, unpredictable third solo
voice on flute, tenor sax and oboe contrasting with Cannonball's
pungent alto sax and Nat Adderly's pithy cornet solos. Bassist Sam
Jones and drummer Louis Hayes were a topflight tandem, while Joe
Zawinul was then playing bluesy, funky piano in his pre-synthesizer,
Miles Davis/Weather Report phase. Prime cuts include "New Delhi,"
"Primitivo," andd the title track, but everything's illustrative of a
prime band enjoying some great nights. ~ Ron Wynn, All-Music Guide

Some late Adderley material that wasn't as vibrant nor ambitious as
pivotal sessions, but did have some strong blowing in sections. The
Adderleys had become somewhat predictable by this juncture, and while
they hadn't lost any soul or rhythmic spark, there are times when the
solos lose their steam and the sound seems more rote than convincing.

Some argue that the early-'60s Cannonball Adderley sextet was his
finest group. That point can be argued; what can't be disputed was
that Yuseff Lateff, on tenor, oboe and flute, gave the band an
instrumental push and urgency that its more popular soul-jazz material
never matched. Both Cannonball and Nat Adderley were often pushed to
the limit, and that competitive spirit extended to the rhythm section
as well. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
