Vinyl Wednesday: The Cannonball Adderly-Nat Adderly Quintet:Live in Europe
Soulful uplifting hardbop, excellent band, one of the best alto sax players ever. This recording is one of the reasons I love listening and playing jazz so much. Cannonball always makes me happy. I love his energetic phrasing and his tone is marvellous. One of my absolute favourite saxophone players. Funky and smooth, agile working his way through the chords and blending with his brother on cornet. It's smart music and at the same time played with a lot of feeling and joy, something I miss in a lot of modern contemporary jazz. It may sound simple, but it's not. Musicians challenging each other and themselves and play melodic, grooving and entertaining, all at the same time without sounding arty-farty.
Here's the whole record, just found it on Youtube..
