Due to his commercial popularity, alto sax player #CannonballAdderly was a gateway into the instrumental #jazz world for so many. It's hard to imagine the progression of #souljazz without his contributions. So sad that he left us way too early (at the age of 46 in 1975). .

There’s the smooth ‘easy-listening’ flow of one composition into another, sitting so comfortably together on one album. That isn’t to say that the music is what is often now termed “easy listening”, it is ‘easy’ on the ear because it is so perfectly balanced, in the way that a Mozart symphony or Bach cantata is ‘easy listening’. . And then there’s the extraordinary fact that it is all completely improvised ‘on the spot’. As Bill Evans, the pianist here (really coming into his own on Blue in Green) writes in the liner notes: “Miles conceived these settings only hours before the recording dates and arrived with sketches with indicated to the group what was to be played. Therefore, you will hear something close to pure spontaneity in these performances. The group had never played these pieces prior to the recordings and I think without exception the first complete performance of each was a ‘take’...” .

Excited to have such a nice copy of this on #vinyl finally, it was a cornerstone of my college life experience. Cannonball Adderly steals the show, PS. #vinyl #MilesDavis #BillEvans #JohnColtrane #CannonballAdderly #PaulChambers #JamesCobb
