Cannonball Adderley —
Cannonball Adderley Quintet In Chicago ... CD EmArcy/Verve, 1959. Used ... $9.99
A great session from 1959 – one that features John Coltrane playing tenor in a combo that's billed as being led by altoist Cannonball Adderley – but which is really more of a Miles Davis combo, without Miles! The set was recorded in Chicago when both were stopping through the city ... (Jazz) read more CD

Very early work from Cannonball Adderley – recorded way before the funky years, when he was a hard-wailing soulful soloist with a lot of bop in his style!

An early Verve album by Japanese pianist Toshiko Akioshi – recorded during her 50s years in the US, with a heavy boppish sound that's quite different than her later work!

The genius of Betty Carter knows no bounds – and this album's a perfect illustration of that fact!
