Loving this Classic Album

Been listening (a lot) to an old Blue Note RVG classic :

SOMETHIN' ELSE.............a la 1958.

Cannonball Adderley
Miles Davis
Hank Jones
Sam Jones
Art Blakey

Cool, man !

That one's a beauty.

I own it. There's a lot of great albums from that era. I went through a spell where I scooped up a lot of albums from '56 thru '60.

I like the title track and One For Daddy-O the best, though this album does have one of the more tolerable versions of Autumn Leaves (man, what was with that era's fascination with that song?)

Heh. I've wondered that too. I like this one better from the Cannonball canon...ahem.

Doesn't have Miles, but Nat does well. It's the rhythm section that makes it work for me.

Cannonball Adderley - alto saxophone
Yusef Lateef - tenor saxophone, flute, oboe
Nat Adderley - trumpet
Joe Zawinul - piano
Sam Jones - bass
Louis Hayes - drums

Autumn Leaves from "Dizzy's Business" (1962)

MasterCylinder, that's a great bunch of old cool man! nothing new Jazz wise, ever comes close to those old masters, IMHO anyways. talking about getting to the roots of passion those musicians could take us their.

if you don't mind, let me add one more name and a CD to your list of consummate musicians Blu Note Jimmy Smith, music for lovers its a compilation of nine tunes produced by Richard Seidel,

My one and only love
time after time
willow weep for me
lover man
little girl blue
embraceable you
angel eyes
it could happen to you, and
flamingo.... all fifty's through sixty nine "ish"

Thanks for the heads-up.............I've got some other Bill Evans stuff.
