Cannonball Adderley

French 1984 Reissue, Stereo, DMM. Sleeve has minor storage wear. Cannonball Adderley’s Somethin’ Else, one of the few albums featuring Davis as a sideman, is calm and uncluttered and direct, each line and phrase contributing something crucial to the whole. Indeed, Somethin’ Else is a kindred jazz classic, a sibling of sorts to Kind of Blue. Among other sterling attributes, it shares that landmark’s emphasis on stark, easy-to-appreciate melodies.
