The Cannonball Adderley Quintet: Music, You All (1972)


Excellent live set from the early 70's, featuring George Duke, Airto, Ernie Watts, and brother Nat. David Axelrod produced, and the LP's got that nice hard funky sound that he did so well during his stint with Cannonball. Includes the 12 minute groover "The Brakes", plus "Oh Babe", "Music, You All", and "Capricorn". Lots of funky drums and bass, and with a lot of space in the arrangements to let things break down! (Review courtesy of Dusty Groove)

Recorded at the Troubadour in L.A. in 1972. Not mentioned in the Dusty Groove review above, the album also features an excellent, fast paced version of "Walk Tall"!

BTW, if someone knows where to get a hold of Adderley's The Price You Got To Pay To Be Free, please let me know.

Låten The price you got to pay to be free kan jag maila till dig om du vill. Den fanns en gång på vinylpodcast http://vinylpodcast.com/?p=30 som numera tyvärr är nedlagd och filen borttagen.

I'm just putting this here because there's no "central" place to put it. and this is the most recent U/L at time of writing .... Nunne, thanks a million for all your inspired and inspiring tracks.

I'm especially thrilled by the Firebirds and the Massey, but the average quality of your stuff is very high indeed!
