T.D. Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Another aspect of why I enjoyed Cannonball's Sextet with Yusef Lateef so much is the wonderful playing of Joe Zawinul. Damn but Joe was a great blues player. The strange thing for me though is how very few things I enjoy by him when he was not with Cannonball. The Riverside session with Ben Webster quickly comes to mind as a situation where I definitely dig Zawinul's playing. I am sure there must be a few more? When he turned electric my interest turned elsewhere. It was a great disappointment to me that Joe didn't record a few trio sessions with Sam Jones and Louis Hayes while with Cannonball. Had he done so I suspect they would have been fantastic. Sam Jones "Down Home" on Riverside was a nice session, with larger ensembles, on which I like Zawinul's playing. Cannonball listed as producer but didn't play. Louis Hayes not on drums, surprisingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Riverside also did a great service when they put out reminiscences from Coleman Hawkins ('A Documentary') and Lil Armstrong ('Satchmo and Me'). Were there others? These albums should be reissued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 well, Cannonball had his faults - BUT - listen to: Know What I Mean - some of the best Cannonbal and Bill Evans - lets you hear the Nat Cole connection to Evans and Cannon plays great - Quintet Plus - a great session - hotter than a pistol - those are Riversides - and if course - Something Else - which no one besides me seems to have noticed was Miles's warmup for Kind of Blue - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Don't forget Cannonball's children's record on "Wonderland." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Don't forget Cannonball's children's record on "Wonderland." Notwithstanding its title , I never considered this a children's record . I think it serves as a good propaedeutic for people of any age . It is not on CD , but an MP3 of it is easily found online . It should not be confused with this Hip Hop mashup CD which occasionally samples Cannonball's LP : Nor with this other LP with identical title which is more truly a children's record : The one introduction to jazz that is on CD is Leonard Bernstein's . Its focus on the technical aspects of the music complements Adderley's more historical/sociological approach : = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) Of course Cannonball Adderley did more for Riverside than this educational LP . It was he who convinced Orrin Keepnews to sign Wes Montgomery and who introduced jazz listeners to new talent through his 'Cannonball Presents' series . While I am not a fan of Adderley's Capitol recordings , I do enjoy much of his Riverside output . Some of my favorite Adderley is on John Benson Brooks Alabama Concerto which is also one of my favorite Riverside sessions . I add my voice to those who are grateful for the Monk and the Montgomery Riverside recordings , but as a jazz piano fan I am also especially grateful that Keepnews and Grauer gave Randy Weston his first chance to record , and also brought us Bill Evans , Don Friedman , Joyce Collins , Evans Bradshaw , Chris Anderson and Roosevelt Wardell . Also on Riverside is one of my favorite Lee Morgan dates , Take Twelve , and one of my favorite vocal records , Teri Thornton's Devil May Care .

Chas Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 This seems like the thread in which to post this : Along with tracks by Coleman Hawkins , Clark Terry , and Kenny Drew , this compilation LP includes a track from this record : His other Riverside recording : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
