This title provides ample evidence why alto Cannonball Adderley is
considered one of the masters of his craft. Here he joins forces with
Modern Jazz Quartet co-founder Milt Jackson on vibes to create a variety
of sonic atmospheres. They are backed by the all-star ensemble of
Wynton Kelly on piano, Percy Heath on bass, and the one and only Art
Blakey on drums. The moody "Blues Oriental" opens the set with Jackson
immediately diving in with his trademark fluid runs and shimmering
intonation. Adderley counters with a light and lively line that weaves
between the rhythm section. The optimistic "Things Are Getting Better"
is a good-natured romp as the co-leads trade and cajole each other into
some downright rollicking exchanges. This directly contrasts with the
sultry "Serves Me Right," which allows the combo members to demonstrate
their collective musical malleability. The interaction between Adderley
and Jackson sparkles as they entwine their respective playing with an
uncanny singularity of spirit. The cover of Dizzy Gillespie's "Groovin'
High" contains another spirited performance with some thoroughly
engaging improvisation, especially during Adderley's voracious solos.
"Sidewalks of New York" bops freely as Jackson unleashes some sublime
licks against a hearty and equally boisterous sax. Adderley's "Sounds
for Sid" demonstrates his uncanny ability to swing with a strong R&B
vibe. With drop-dead timing and profound instrumental chops, this cut
is undoubtedly one of the best from Adderley's earliest canon. The album
concludes with a jumping reading of Cole Porter's "Just One of Those
Things." While Wynton Kelly has been uniformly solid, his interjections
stand out here as he bridges and undergirds the two as they banter with
flair and aplomb. This set can be recommended without hesitation to all
manner of jazz enthusiast, as it quite literally offers something for
every taste. [Some reissues include two bonus tracks supplementing the
original seven-song running order, alternate takes of "Serves Me Right"
and "Sidewalks of New York."] Lindsay Planer
