Today's Listen:
Cannonball Adderley with Bill Evans -- KNOW WHAT I MEAN
with Cannonball Adderley(alto sax), Bill Evans(piano), Percy Heath(bass), Connie kay(drums).
Sort of like Miles merged with MJQ. Riverside Label, 1961.
Notes talk about how Heath and Kay were brought in because they are used to playing 'difficult and subtle music', as part of MJQ. And Bill Evans is unexcelled when 'moody delicacy' is called for, and how Cannonball was burdened with the "The New Bird" label, until he was anointed, "The New Benny Carter". :)
It could have been worst, "The New O-10"??
