Cannonball Adderley Quintet: Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (alto saxophone); Blue Mitchell (trumpet); Bill Evans (piano); Sam Jones (bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Recorded in New York, New York on July 1, 1958. Originally released on Riverside (269). Includes original release liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). This fine Riverside debut by Adderley was cut just a few months after the alto saxophonist had contributed to Miles Davis' stellar Milestones release. Joining Adderley for the six tracks here are fellow Davis alumni Philly Joe Jones on drums and Bill Evans on piano. These three are augmented by the wonderful and often-underrated Blue Mitchell on trumpet and the equally illustrious Sam Jones on bass. Everyone is in top form on a varied set that takes in two Adderley originals (the fine ballad "Straight Life" and "A Little Taste"), a classic Gigi Gryce number ("Minority"), and Miles' oft-covered "Nardis." Filling out the program, we have a rare Sam Jones-penned cut, "Blue Funk," and a lone standard in the Rogers & Hammerstein chestnut from Oklahoma, "People Will Say We're in Love." One of the highlights from Adderley's hard bop prime. ~ Stephen Cook
