 | Cannonball Adderley: Things Are Getting Better (CD: Riverside- US Import)
At its best, the loose-limbed "blowing" date must be recognized as an important element in the jazz pattern. This album is a near-perfect illustration: Cannonball and Bags rank among the most imaginative and blues-rooted improvisers of all times; Art Blakey, Percy Heath, and Wynton Kelly form a flawless rhythm section; all five are bonded together by a deep musical and personal compatibility. The combination elevates the straight-ahead jazz session to an art form. (Fantasy, Inc.)

 | Cannonball Adderley: Takes Charge (CD: Capitol)
This 1959 album, originally issued on Riverside, is a rare treat in Adderley's vast output. It is a relaxed studio quartet album featuring the great pianist Wynton Kelly. Both of these giants were members of Miles Davis's sextet at the time. Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb, also members of Miles's group, are on the first four tunes, while Percy and Tootie Heath are on the balance of the album. While the blues is well represented, Cannonball took this opportunity to delve into some great standards that show off his incredible grasp of Charlie Parker's style. Cannonball Takes Charge is mastered in 24-bit from the original tapes and includes two alternate takes. (Blue Note Records)

Cannonball Adderley Quintet: In Chicago (CD: Verve)
The personnel on this 1959 session is the Mile Davis Sextet without Miles Davis, but it doesn't sound like anything is missing. The music is an expression of the dynamic personalities of Davis's two saxophonists: the buoyant and bluesy Cannonball Adderley, who is credited as the leader, and the intense and searching John Coltrane, whose contributions are every bit as prominent as Adderley's. Quintet in Chicago captures both musicians when the were on the verge of establishing themselves as bandleaders and as strong individual voices. (Verve Music Group)

 | Cannonball Adderley: Somethin' Else (CD: Blue Note RVG)
Adderley's solitary Blue Note as leader afforded him the luxury of Miles Davis as a sideman, though the 'Cannonball' is really leader in name only for this is very much a Davis disc. And a magical one it is too, capturing the trumpeter in particularly fine form on two well known standards, 'Autumn Leaves' and 'Love For Sale'. Blakey on drums, so often a powerhouse behind the horns, plays with great subtlety and invention, equally so pianist Hank Jones, whose soft touch on the keys is a delight throughout. Adderley, still under the influence of Bird, plays as many notes as Davis leaves out but his soulful craft on the alto horn shines through on this, one of his most engaging recordings.

Nat Adderley: Work Song (CD: Riverside- US Import)
Nat Adderley led a double creative life at Riverside: featured on the highly successful working-group albums led by his brother Cannonball, and also devising several intriguingly different projects under his own name. Very possibly the most interesting was Work Song, which took its title from one of Nat's most widely known soulful compositions, and took its instrumentation from the younger Adderley's fertile imagination. Cornet, cello, and guitar make up a front line that will probably never be duplicated. The guitarist was his friend Wes Montgomery, just emerging towards jazz stardom; the cellist was the longtime bassist of Cannonball's band, Sam Jones. (Fantasy, Inc.)
