Only a few days and I’m already way behind on keeping up with the goodness here. Referring back to Cannonball Adderley. I only have a hand full of albums. However, for those looking for jazz essential albums I offer up

Cannonball Adderley: Somethin’ Else


This album came out in 1958 and includes Miles Davis on trumpet; one year later Adderley showed up on Miles’ Kind of Blue.

Then for my other fave
Cannonball Adderly: Dizzy’s Business


From 1963. Where Somethin’ Else is cool, Dizzy’s Business sizzles (as you might expect in a tribute to Dizzy). This is a terrific set of live recordings. If you’ve heard the standard Autumn Leaves played a bazillion times too many, the track here might rekindle your interest. If you haven't, then see above. There’s some great bits with Yusef Lateef on oboe and flute (Jive Samba), and swingin’ piano…its all good.
