Album Notes & Community Reviews
Stepping out from his usual role as Cannonball Adderley's rhythmic anchor, the bassist splits his time between standard upright bass and the cello for this inventive date. The unconventional instrumentation yields a distinctive texture, bridging deep, swinging pocket grooves with ambitious post-bop compositional frameworks.
