5.0 out of 5 stars Cannonball
This set has altoist Cannonball Adderley's first recordings as a leader, following by 16 days his memorable appearance on a session headed by drummer Kenny Clarke.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reed redemption
Gracious, well preserved old time offering with all the structural predictability that comes intact can be a limp, if technically fluid outing, but when focused in sweet saxophone soloing, shakes the dust off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cannonball, April 22, 2008
This review is from: Presenting (Audio CD)
This set has altoist Cannonball Adderley's first recordings as a leader, following by 16 days his memorable appearance on a session headed by drummer Kenny Clarke. Already at this early stage, Adderley was a powerful player with a soulful sound that was almost distinctive. His exuberant style is heard on five selections (highlighted by "Spontaneous Combustion" and "A Little Taste") in a quintet with his brother Nat on cornet, pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Kenny Clarke. A very impressive beginning to a memorable career. [Originally released in 1955, Presenting Cannonball was re-released on CD in 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another early gem, February 20, 2005

This review is from: Presenting (Audio CD)
Recorded in July 1955, shortly after the "Bohemia After Dark" date, this is another thoroughly enjoyable Adderley release. Tune selection is excellent--"A Little Taste" being particularly terrific. Having the bonus tracks is a big plus. Highly recommended.
