Cannonball Adderley's "In San Francisco" is one of the most exciting, influential and successful live recordings in the history of modern jazz. The all-star band, led by brother Nat on cornet, and the rhythm section of Bobby Timmons, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes, tears through the CD's six tunes (Monk's "Straight, No Chaser is an addition to the original album). The album's best moment is the definitive version of Timmons' "This Here." Don't miss Cannonball in San Fran!

The debut album of the newly revived Cannonball Adderley quintet remians one of the quintessential live albums ever recorded. Even though the band had only been working together for a few weeks at the time, they are still incredibly tight and work extremely well together. This exceptional group included the Adderley brothers, the amazing composer/pianist Bobby Timmons on piano, and the incredible rhythm team of Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. The quintet smokes on every one of these fine selections, especially "This Here" and "Hi-fly", which became jazz standards due to the incredible performances found here. Cannonball's dialogue in between tracks is worth the charge alone. So if you love any kind of music, I assure you that this spectacular album will make you happy no matter how many times you pop it into your stereo!

I have been hearing Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins & Bud Powell for quite a long time but never got myself acquinted with Cannonball's album which I bought lately and believe me I have found the sound which I look for...Nat and Cannonball had an awesome session which is unforgettable and apart from that, the entire album if free-flowing.
