Cannonball Adderley – Somethin’ Else (Black Vinyl)

LP – 180 Gram Vinyl

‘Somethin’ Else’ is a jazz album by alto saxophonist Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, recorded and released in 1958. Also on the session is trumpeter Miles Davis. The album was recorded during Adderley’s membership in the ‘Miles Davis’ First Great Quintet’ and it also marks one of the few recordings Davis made as a sideman after 1955. Indeed, Davis plays several of the first solos, composed the bluesy title track and, according to the liner notes, chose most of the material. ‘Autumn Leaves’ would remain in the Davis book, and ‘Love for Sale’ would be recorded by the Davis Sextet a little over two months later. The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected ‘Somethin’ Else’ as part of its suggested “Core Collection” and it got severell 5-star reviews by the DownBeat magazine and others.
