1955 studio album by Cannonball Adderley
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley is the second album by jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley , and his first released on the EmArcy label, featuring an octet with Nat Adderley , Jerome Richardson , Cecil Payne , John Williams , Paul Chambers , Jimmy Cleveland or J. J. Johnson , and Kenny Clarke or Max Roach arranged by Quincy Jones .[ 1]
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states "Nothing on the album screams as a standout, but there's an even-keeled consonance that is very enjoyable, and lingers to the point where you want to listen again and again. That enduring quality makes this recording special, and set the bar high for what Adderley would produce through a long and fruitful career as a jazz master. This album is the seed for that field of flowers".[ 2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave the album a three star rating saying "the confidence and bro is already in place and seemingly unstoppable".[ 3]
