The Cannonball Adderley Quintet ‎– The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco VG+/VG+

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco captures the energy and excitement of a live jazz performance. Recorded in 1959 at a San Francisco club, the album features the Adderley brothers, Cannonball on alto sax and Nat on cornet, along with a stellar rhythm section. The playing is loose and inspired, with each musician pushing the boundaries of the compositions. The album also includes some of Cannonball’s between-song banter, adding to the intimate atmosphere. This is a landmark live recording that helped popularize the idea of capturing jazz in its natural habitat.
