I would love to hear the back story to Yusef Lateef joining the quintet. He seemed to be a perfect addition, especially adding three different horns. What a cooking rhythm section they had as well. One of the all time top 5 groups in Jazz IMHO.
@sacredgeometry I agree - Cannonball swings so hard and displays the bop influence while still stretching into new harmonic territory. For that style (in the Miles quintet of the time) he is my favorite. Coltrane had a different mission, sound, concept etc. Difficult to compare them - Coltrane's work from 1960 until his death is a completely different genre of music from the almost-pop music that Cannonball was doing. Miles was a genius for putting them together in the late 50s.
1962? Wow. I wanted - for awhile - a King Super 20 alto because of Julius "Cannonball" Adderly. It's a great American horn, and they command steep prices to this day in large part because of his awesome tone. But I've heard others play one, and as good as they may be, nobody - NOBODY - sounds like Cannonball.
Hey... guys if you really want to know the oringens of brazilian music... research the expression "pixinguinha chorinho"... chorinho was a brazilian music style at 30 and 40, and the great name of chorinho was the great musician Pinchinguinha... I recomend to the jazz lovers...
@Hugo Omar Lescano, actually the rhythm section is pretty great. Remember that bossa nova was new to them, and it can be just as difficult to understand a new rhythm as a new language-especially if you didn't grow up hearing it. Conversely, when musicians in other countries-like Brasil and some of the Spanish-speaking countries (which now have "roque in español"), started playing rock, they were horrible. It takes time to make new music your own.
One has to focus greatly on their breathe when playing a sax etc. All these musicians must enter meditative states of mind from playing their horns. I'll bet that alone is a huge factor in why these guys are such great musicians.
Totally agree. It's good to use terms as accurately as possible and if Hugo thinks bossa is a wrong term, fair enough, but that doesn't make the rhythm section horrible. If people didn't mix it up these styles wouldn't have existed in the first place. The tune cooks, and that's mostly what counts IMHO.
@studdershot they are both equally as competent, both had bad days too...which are still better than most peoples good days. this said for me personally cannonball blew Coltrane out o the water on kind of blue.
They're all relentlessly funky in this, I love it!

Man, listen how behind the beat Zoe (R.I.P) is in the intro. Such a commanding time they all have. Love this band!

the name would eventually change to "Jive Samba"....for those looking for a recording.
When I first heard this in college it had a great impact on my music taste. These guys were tops!
Some of the greatest musicians ever .The greatest playing Ever!!!!!!!
Oscar Brown Jr., so young there! I'm glad I got to see him live two years or so before he passed.
The Lateef' solo is so sophisticate, I love it.
Excellent ! Thank you so much !
Funny to see Joe Zawinul without his bonnet!

@drewhet yeah that's my point. coltrane was influenced by cannonball when they played together for miles, and you can really hear it on kind of blue
The greatest !!!!!
@KlassyKamikaze Oh yeah, on a gold-plated King Super 20, too! He's a beast.

The “Cannonball Adderley Sextet” appear on the Oscar Brown Jr.’s TV show “Jazz Scene USA” in 1962.
@megajames3000 yes samba, bossa a really gr8 sound.
Cannonball always burns it down!
Love that bass, especially at 3:35
It's called Jive Samba :)

on that alto sax, Cannonball makes it work--like Bird!! Coltrane was on a different page altogether.
So this guy is the reason king super 20s are $5,000..lol
Cannonball's a freakin' monster!
Yeah ! ♫♫♫♫♫
It's Jive Samba!
nice
wonderfuly groovy ...
@studdershot they are both equally as competent, both had bad days too...which are still better than most peoples good days. this said for me personally cannonball blew Coltrane out o the water on kind of blue.
No, but thank you, I'll check him out. It's a gas to "discover" somebody new.
I'm writing that sheet music now
Adderly's son looks like him alot!! XD He plays sax to!!
yes, eventually it was.
@Baseballbear104 you know they both played on that album right?
i think that's Victor Feldman on piano
I feel like I've heard this tune before...
oh, come on!! you are mixing apples and oranges!
@FvNeRaL by heroin standards actually i was thinking C. Parker was the maradona of sax... Cannonball is probably the Pelé of alto sax. Cheers
Nope, that's definitely Zawinul on the piano...
D+
Wow, ten thumbs down? Should be zero.
Sextet amirite? Right? Right!? ;D
This solo of Cannonball is very great. Better than Coltrane or Parker. Hands down.
@studdershot If anything, Coltrane copied from Adderly....just listen to kind of blue...all the sax solos sound more like cannonball than trane.
I agree about Coltrane, but there is no way the Adderly is "better" than Charlie Parker - just
different. I prefer Parker's tone...
sophisticated, sorry.
Horrible la seccion rítmca. ESTO NO ES BOSSANOVA, Ok?.... THANKS A LOT!!!...
