Julian "Cannonball" Adderly, "Somethin' Else" (1958)

NICK DERISO:What an unmitigated triumph for all involved. And what a cast it is: There's Miles and Cannon, course. (Adderly had left his own group in 1957 to join Miles.)

But there's more: Oh-so-cool, oh-so-old school pianist Hank Jones, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Art Blakey, associated with the the then-new school of hard hop. Hard bop and MILES? Fertile, indeed.
