Customer Review: this album swings like somethin' else, but I don't know what. Like other reviewers have said before me, there isn't anything fancy here; just four grown men playin' swinging, groovy, mellow jazz. For me, this is the jazz equivalent of when a movie buff says to themselves, "Tonight, I just want to... more info
Customer Review: I love this CD, especially tracks 3 and 4 (which flow from one to another live). Track 4, "That's called The Sticks, ladies and gentlemen, The Sticks, thank you.", has the coolest solo hand-off ever. The trumpet wraps his solo up with some double-tonguing that is truly amazing... until the saxophone... more info
Customer Review: I like Nancy and Cannonball, but their duet LP is one star below the one she did with pianist George Shearing. I think George's instrument and style suit her voice better, and the song selection is better. Here, she is wonderful on "A Sleepin' Bee" and on "Happy Talk" from "South Pacific" but I was... more info
Customer Review: Out of the first 3 quintet albums, this is probably my favorite. Them Dirty Blues was a very nice album, but Cannonball probably realized that this band was at its best and most intense on stage. That reflects itself pretty clearly in the amazing album opener, "Sack o' Woe". As far as I know,... more info
Customer Review: This is, as far as I know, the final recorded meeting of Cannonball Adderley and Bill Evans, the warmest and the coolest of the Kind of Blue alumni. To throw another quirk into the mix, they're backed by the light and precise tandem of Percy Heath and Connie Kay, making a guest appearance away from... more info
Cannonball's Bossa Nova by Julian "Cannonball" Adderley With The Bossa Rio Sextet Of Brazil Price: $8.49
Customer Review: Marcelo Maciel has summed up all the details below, and this album really fits in very well with any general music collection. I actually like this Brazilian album more than any other of Cannonball Adderley's I've heard, and thankfully it ages like good wine and just gets better with time. Be sure... more info
Customer Review: This is the first in a line of many recordings by the Cannonball Adderley quintet and pretty much sets the pace for the rest of them -- populist jazz, intelligent and modern but also accessible to a broad audience. It's not necessarily the best one, but it's not a bad place to start and few fans of... more info
Customer Review: Cannonball Adderley, who will probably always be remembered for his role opposite of John Coltrane on Miles Davis' classic 1959 recording "Kind Of Blue," many people haven't explored his work outside of that album. "Them Dirty Blues" released by Capitol Jazz in 1960 features an all-star group of... more info
Customer Review: How do you improve on perfection ??? I purchased this recording eons ago on vinyl and it instantly became one of my MOST prized possessions !!! And that's not only because Taurus is highlighted in this recording :-) This CD is MOST EXCELLENT !!! I will treasure it always !!! The sound quality... more info
Customer Review: This is a very nice blow session, recorded almost 9 months after the extremely popular Somethin' Else. Unlike the earlier album, this one is definitely a Cannonball album in style. Unlike many later albums, this is a blowing session rather than a studio appearance by a live, working band. I'll... more info
