Cannonball Adderley: Know What I Mean?

Product description:

Released in 1961, "Know What I Mean?" is a pivotal recording showcasing the collaboration of two jazz giants - alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and the poetic pianist Bill Evans. Both artists, having recently parted ways with the legendary Miles Davis Sextet, brought their unique styles and deep musicality to this project, resulting in an album that stands as a testament to both their individual talents and their unparalleled synergy.

The compositions featured on this album are fresh territories for Adderley. None of the tunes had ever been recorded by him before this session, and he would never revisit them in future recordings. This gives the album a distinct quality of discovery and exploration, as listeners are treated to Adderley's first and only interpretations of these tracks.

Bill Evans, with his introspective and delicate touch, provides the perfect counterpoint to Adderley's robust and soulful saxophone lines. The conversational nature of their interplay throughout the album is a sheer delight, making it evident that they share a deep musical connection.

This limited 180 gm audiophile vinyl repressing ensures that listeners will experience the nuances and warmth of the original recording. The reissue is a testament to the album's enduring significance and is a must-have for vinyl enthusiasts and jazz aficionados alike.

The Wax Time label has done a commendable job in reviving this classic, ensuring that newer generations can experience and appreciate the magic of Adderley and Evans at their collaborative best. For those who cherish jazz that resonates with emotion and technical brilliance, "Know What I Mean?" is an essential addition to any collection.
