The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g crystal clear vinyl

Considered one of the best small group jazz sessions ever recorded, Cannonball Adderley's album Somethin' Else (recorded for Blue Note records) features Miles Davisas a sideman, when at the time, Adderley was a member of the Miles Davis Sextet - a rare occurrence at the time and a compliment and mark of respect from Davis to Adderley.

In addition to his trumpet star boss, Cannonball Adderley is fanked by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Blakey, all of whom shine throughout. Among the highlights is the Joseph Cosma standard 'Autumn Leaves' featuring a superlative lyrical solo from Miles Davis.

This special edition includes two bonus tracks from the same session but not included on the original LP: 'Allison's Uncle' (aka 'Bangoon'), and a rarely heard alternative take of the aforementioned 'Autumn Leaves'.

There's really not too much to say about this set. It's the result of fve thoroughly professional jazzmen playing together and making it. The outstanding side to me is 'Autumn Leaves,' on which Davis displays his moving lyricism." - ***** Dom Cerulli, DownBeat
