Julian "Cannonball" Adderley

CANNONBALL ADDERLEY QUINTET IN SAN FRANCISCO

Riverside / OJC  1959 / 1989

Notes: When the Cannonball Adderley Quintet finished "Hi-Fly"--its closing number after a four-week engagement at the Jazz Workshop in October 1959--the audience stood and cheered and whistled and clapped for fifteen minutes.

The Greatest of the Great ! Jussi Bjoerling .

The Great Pavarotti sang this for many years as his go-to from Puccini , it was fantastic to say the least .

For years I had Puccini lovers, like myself ,over ,I had it all .

I often had Jussi sing it right after the Big man .

Often people were speechless and /or tearful . Beyond the fantastic into the impossible !

When it comes to Opera, all we need is Rossini for the overtures, and Mozart and Puccini for the Operas.

Great post.

Cheers
