Product Information
Cannonball's Sharpshooters, originally released in 1958, documents alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley leading a quintet featuring cornetist Nat Adderley, pianist Junior Mance, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Jimmy Cobb. Recorded on March 4 and 6, 1958, at Bell Sound in New York City, the session captures the group just days before Adderley's recording session for Somethin' Else with Miles Davis, placing the album at a pivotal moment in his late-1950s trajectory. The ensemble presents a compact hard-bop program reflecting Adderley's blues-inflected phrasing alongside the harmonic language of modern bebop. The repertoire balances standards, bop vehicles, and originals, including Tadd Dameron's "Our Delight" and Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser." Adderley's trademark exuberance while leading an all-star lineup of 1950s jazz defines the character of this session. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
