Somethin' Else (studio album) by Cannonball Adderley

Basically, this is a Miles album--he takes the first solo on most of the tracks, wrote the title track, and the arrangements of the standards on side one especially just sound like your typical mid-50s Miles Davis thing. Cannonball does take the lead on the last couple of tracks. Not that it matters. It's just weird--you say "Wow, Miles is a sideman on this album, that's sort of unusual..." and then you listen and you say, "Oh, no he isn't." At any rate, it's a very good album, whoever was in charge.

Tight compositions from an all-time alto sax player

Every instrument wonderfully knows exactly where they want to take you.

I'm not generally an alto fan, but this album made me a believer. Adderley was the master of the alto and this is his finest work. The ensemble are tight and lay down jazz that is hot, cool and swinging. Two big thumbs up.

Absolute top level jazz

I tend to put my jazz collection down for months at a time and when I do, I return to Miles or Mingus. But every time this one makes its way into my ears I remember why it's my favorite jazz album. Every track is perfect.

This album is exceptional! Great jazz from start to finish.

One of the greatest records ever.
