This is a fine all-around set from the
Cannonball Adderley Quintet of 1960 with the altoist/leader, cornetist
Nat Adderley, pianist
Victor Feldman, bassist
Sam Jones and drummer
Louis Hayes. The fifth of seven LPs reissued by
Orrin Keepnews and taken from
Adderley's Riverside years finds his band in top form on the original version of "Sack O' Woe," a previously unissued "Our Delight,"
Jimmy Heath's "Big 'P'" and "Blue Daniel" among others. It's a strong introduction to the music of this classic hard bop group. ~ Scott Yanow
