74 Miles Away is an album by jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley recorded "live" before an invited audience at Capitol Tower Studios in Hollywood, California in 1967, and features performances by Adderley with Nat Adderley, Joe Zawinul, Victor Gaskin and Roy McCurdy. Following these sessions, it would be almost a year before Mr. Adderley recorded again, a significant sign that the slump in jazz fortunes of the latter 1960s had begun.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars and states "This was a rare thing, a group that could grab the public's attention and gently lead them into more difficult idioms without pandering or condescension".
