Adderley, Cannonball – Somethin Else (MFSL)

Description

New Vinyl Record – Cannonball Addereley – Somethin Else

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab – One-Step

Julian Cannonball Adderley’s only Blue Note album,Somethin’ Else, would likely forever be famous in music lore if just for the presence of Miles Davis. The iconic composer/trumpeter steps into the role of sideman on the 1958 set, one of just a handful of times he’d make such a move after the calendar passed the mid-1950s. Yet evaluatingSomethin’ Elsestrictly on Davis’ involvement misses the big picture. Plain and simple, Adderley’s jubilant work remains a jazz landmark due to the chemistry of its Hall of Fame personnel, enthusiasm of its participants, and sophistication of its arrangements not to mention the reference-grade production and inclusion of the definitive renditions of two all-time jazz standards.
