A CD release of Cannonball's earliest NYC studio work, it is a winner for every one of its 53 minutes. Fun, swinging bop from the summer of 1955 in good quality sound, this is Adderley fresh from Florida, making a big splash in Manhattan jazz clubs. A few years later he would contribute mightily to two collaborations with Miles Davis, the immortal "Kind of Blue" record for Columbia and the almost as good "Somethin' Else" under his own leadership for Blue Note with pretty much the same crew. These eight selections make it pretty clear how skilled this high school band instructor was on the saxophone. Seven of the eight numbers are Adderley originals. Accompaniment comes from some great people, including his brother Nat on cornet, Donald Byrd on trumpet, Horace Silver and Hank Jones on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums. ~William E. Adams
