Inner journey (Cannonball Adderley) (LP 853 - 854)

Cannonball Adderley Sextet Jazz Workshop Revisited (Vinyl, Riverside, 1962) ****  

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet Inside Straight (Vinyl, Fantasy, 1974) ****  

Genre: Jazz 

Places I remember: Record fair in Palmerston North a month ago.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/ Gear costume: : Mellow Buno (Jazz Workshop Revisited)

Active compensatory factors: Both of these fine albums were recorded live in San Francisco: at the Jazz Workshop 1962 and the Fantasy studios in Berkeley 1973.

I was tickled to get these from a stall holder at a recent record fair. I leapt at the Riverside album - a NZ pressing in mint condition. I was going to leave Inside Straight but I managed to barter it down to ten dollars.

Inside Straight saw Cannonball reinvigorated and stretching out/embracing the early seventies. Tragically he would die in 1975 from a stroke. He was only 46.

Where do they all belong? Both albums show the various sides of Cannonball.
