In 1963
Cannonball Adderley signed with the Capitol label, retaining the rights to some master tapes recorded earlier while he was with Riverside.
Jazz Workshop Revisited contains music much closer to the altoist's freewheeling Riverside period than to his R&B-ish Capitol dates.
Adderley's greatest band -- a sextet with cornetist
Nat Adderley,
Yusef Lateef (on tenor, flute and oboe), pianist
Joe Zawinul, bassist
Sam Jones, and drummer
Louis Hayes -- is featured on such exciting numbers as "Jessica's Day,"
Jones' "Unit 7," and "The Jive Samba." A special treat of this live date is hearing the leader's introductory words to several of the songs. ~ Scott Yanow
