The Cannonball Adderley Sextet • In New York

 

Reseña de Richard S. Ginell
Esta excelente actuación en directo desde el Village Vanguard supuso el debut discográfico del sexteto de Adderley, con Cannonball tocando el saxo alto con elocuencia y swing, su hermano Nat liderando la corneta y el versátil Yusef Lateef (que se había unido a la banda solo tres semanas antes) añadiendo un toque especial con el saxo tenor, la flauta y, algo inusual para un instrumentista de viento de jazz, el oboe en la extraña y «Syn-Anthesia», con un aire fúnebre. Además, esta fue la primera aparición discográfica del pianista Joe Zawinul —poco más de tres años después de su llegada a Estados Unidos— en la banda de Cannonball. Este grupo sería el trampolín de Zawinul hacia la fama en el mundo del jazz, y es evidente cómo su dominio compulsivamente funky del bop y el blues se fusionó estrechamente con la sección rítmica de Sam Jones y Louis Hayes. Se incluye una de las primeras grabaciones de una composición de Zawinul, «Scotch and Water», un blues alegre y swing.

Review by Richard S. Ginell
This excellent live date from the Village Vanguard was the recording debut of the Adderley sextet, with Cannonball waxing eloquently and swingingly on alto, brother Nat charging ahead on cornet, and the versatile Yusef Lateef (who had joined the band only three weeks earlier) adding a bit of an edge on tenor, flute, and unusually for a jazz wind player, oboe on the odd, dirge-like "Syn-Anthesia." Also, this was the first recorded appearance of pianist Joe Zawinul -- a little over three years since his arrival in America -- in Cannonball's band. This group would be Zawinul's springboard to prominence in the jazz world, and readily apparent is how his compulsively funky mastery of bop and the blues had fused tightly with the Sam Jones/Louis Hayes rhythm section. Included is one of the earliest recordings of a Zawinul composition, "Scotch and Water," a happy, swinging blues.
