CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Adderley's burning 1959 live recording In San Francisco was something of a hit for the altoist and his quintet. Fully aware of the high standards they'd set, Cannon and producer Orrin Keepnews decided to return to the Jazz Workshop three years later for another hard-swinging affair. By then, Adderley's band had been fleshed out to a sextet distinguished by the presence of a second wind player in Yusef Lateef. Joe Zawinul had settled into the piano chair a year earlier, while Adderley's cornetist brother Nat and the rhythm team of Sam Jones and Louis Hayes were all holdovers from the previous S.F. record. The exotic, ominous one-chord vamp "Primitivo" makes effective use of Lateef's evocative flute and oboe touches. Another highlight is Nat's 11-minute "Jive Samba," a bossa-nova-based groove that actually found its way onto jukeboxes in severely abridged form. Here Lateef's flute proves to be a dynamic addition to the solo procession. --Marc Greilsamer Similar CDs

CD Reviews"Swingin'!!!!" Jeffrey Harris | South San Francisco, CA United States | 02/14/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was stopped dead in my tracks the other day while I was browsing in a record store when I heard something instantly familiar from my childhood, playing over the stores sound system. It was " The Jive Samba" by the Cannonball Adderley Sextet, which I'd heard my parents play again and again, and I did once I got my little five year old fingers all over it!!! After being out of print for many years, this classic album has been released on CD. Recorded over three days of performances at San Francisco's legendary Jazz Workshop in September 1962. Adderley's band featured his brother Nat on cornet, Yusef Lateef on saxes, flute and oboe, and pianist Joe Zawinul, later of Weather Report and writer of Cannonball's biggest hit "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy". The highlights of this album include the aforementioned "Jive Samba", "Primitivo", "Unit 7", and "Mellow Buno". Even Cannonball's between song introductions are enjoyable to listen to. It's so great to see this great album available again for everyone to enjoy." Bebop Revisited A. Fine | Seattle, WA United States | 01/26/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Long unavailable on disc, this well-known and soulful set is finally ready for your CD player. Recorded in the lively--if noisy--Jazz Workshop of San Francisco, mecca to those of us who grew up musically in the Bay Area of the 60's. 'Jive Samba' is the best-known cut, but 'Primitivo' is not to be missed." An Absolute Classic Frank Levy | Newton, Massachusetts United States | 09/21/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Every track on this CD is very good or better and most are better. The music was recorded when Cannonball had expanded his group to a sextette by adding Yusef Lateef. The group made the most of their size by adopting a big band sound with horns playing figures under the soloist. Jive Samba is a classic and listening to Jessica's Day, you can feel the band swinging off the bandstand. Cannonball made many good CD's but this is absolutely the one I would start with."
