5 STARS DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE (1958)
This release contains the complete classic album Somethin ' Else in which Cannonball - by then a member of the Miles Davis Sextet - was joined by his boss, Hank Jones, Sam Jones and the great Art Blakey. All five musicians shine on this album, which is one of the most celebrated in the history of jazz. As a bonus, Cannonball's 1957 album Sophisticated Swing has been added. Our booklet includes the original liner notes for both albums, plus the 1958 Down Beat review for Somethin ' Else by Dom Cerulli and the complete 1959 Cannonball Adderley blindfold test by Leonard Feather.
