Spontaneous Combustion

Spontaneous Combustion (1955) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

This valuable set features altoist Cannonball Adderley's first recordings, cut just days after the unknown had greatly impressed musicians when he sat in with Oscar Pettiford's group at the Cafe Bohemia. He is quite impressive throughout, holding his own in an all-star octet led by drummer Kenny Clarke with trumpeter Donald Byrd, brother Nat on ...

The Summer of '55

The Summer of '55 (1999) more music like this

by The Adderley Brothers

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and Nat Adderley are both legendary names in jazz now, but when the material on these two discs was recorded in 1955, they were newcomers on the New York jazz scene. These 21 tracks were originally released on three separate LPs: the first as Bohemia After Dark (with drummer Kenny Clarke billed as leader), the second ...

Presenting Cannonball

Presenting Cannonball (1955) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

This set has altoist Cannonball Adderley's first recordings as a leader, following by 16 days his memorable appearance on a session headed by drummer Kenny Clarke.

Bohemia After Dark

Bohemia After Dark (1955) more music like this

by Kenny Clarke

The June 26, 1955 session is most notable for being the recorded debut of the recently discovered altoist Cannonball Adderley and his brother, cornetist Nat (who is also featured on the lone number from July 26, a quartet version of "We'll Be Together Again"). Although drummer Kenny Clarke is the nominal leader and the other sidemen include ...

Timeless

Timeless (2002) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

This Savoy jazz compilation features previously issued tracks by tenor saxophone great Cannonball Adderley. While this is a nice single-disc budget collection of Adderley in the mid- to late '50s, it by no means represents the scope of his career. Collectors need not bother. Matt Collar, All Music Guide

The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz

The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

The old Savoy catalog gets bounced around from one distributor to the next like an unwanted foster child, with everyone starting from scratch once they get a hold of it. By 1999, it was Atlantic's turn and, hot on the heels of other label retrospectives, they have compiled a very good three-CD anthology of Savoy's jazz activities over 15 years in ...

Bohemia After Dark

Bohemia After Dark (2003) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Savoy Jazz reissues are always unpredictable and this CD by Cannonball Adderley is no exception. This music has appeared on earlier CDs, including Discoveries and The Summer of '55, though the ever-changing total times for each track and mysteriously switching take-numbers make one wonder whether or not to keep earlier editions. In any case, ...
