Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a crucial, highly celebrated milestone in the development of East Coast modern jazz, the pioneering bebop drummer leads a spectacular, all-star studio session. The date is historically monumental for providing the major-label debut of brothers Cannonball and Nat Adderley, whose fiery, blues-drenched soloing completely invigorates the proceedings. The exceptionally tight, fiercely swinging tracks brilliantly encapsulate the muscular, hard-driving aesthetic defining mid-century New York club dates.
