The Adderley Brothers • The Summer Of '55

 

Review from AllMusic:
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and Nat Adderley are both legendary names in jazz now, but when the material on these two discs was recorded in 1955, they were newcomers on the New York jazz scene. These 21 tracks were originally released on three separate LPs: the first as Bohemia After Dark (with drummer Kenny Clarke billed as leader), the second under Cannonball's name as Spontaneous Combustion, and the third titled That's Nat. This reissue leaves the tracks in the same order as that found on the original LPs (with the addition of several alternate takes). The playing is stupendous, and Cannonball's alto sax is particularly reminiscent of Charlie Parker at the peak of his powers. Cannonball and Nat's compositions, especially the very boppish "Chasm" and the bluesy "Hear Me Talkin' to Ya" simultaneously hark back to and expand the bebop tradition in a way that would lead directly to the hard bop sound of Art Blakey and others.

Reseña de AllMusic:
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley y Nat Adderley son ahora nombres legendarios en el jazz, pero cuando el material de estos dos discos fue grabado en 1955, eran recién llegados a la escena del jazz de Nueva York. Estos 21 temas fueron publicados originalmente en tres LPs separados: el primero como Bohemia After Dark (con el baterista Kenny Clarke acreditado como líder), el segundo bajo el nombre de Cannonball como Spontaneous Combustion, y el tercero titulado That's Nat. Esta reedición mantiene los temas en el mismo orden que el encontrado en los LPs originales (con la adición de varias tomas alternativas). La interpretación es estupenda, y el saxofón alto de Cannonball recuerda particularmente a Charlie Parker en la cima de sus poderes. Las composiciones de Cannonball y Nat, especialmente el muy boppish "Chasm" y el bluesy "Hear Me Talkin' to Ya" evocan y expanden simultáneamente la tradición del bebop de una manera que llevaría directamente al sonido hard bop de Art Blakey y otros.
