"...he floored them. The word spread quickly..."
An anthology that presents early Cannonball Adderley material, showing him in the developmental stages sounding more like Charlie Parker than he would once he cemented a style. The songs are more in a straight, almost rigid hard bop setting, but are instructive in displaying even at this point the fluidity and spark that characterized his alto playing throughout his career.
