Somethin' Else

Product Information

Aurally and visually, this UD1S reissue exists as a curatorial artefact meant to be preserved, touched, and examined.The twelve-bar blues "One for Daddy-O" was written by Adderley's brother Nat for Chicago radio DJ Holmes "Daddy-O" Daylie. the complete, classic blue note album 'somethin' else' in which cannonball - by then a member of the miles davis sextet - was joined by his boss, hank jones, sam jones and the great art blakey.

Perhaps I’ve watched too many movies, because I pictured my adventure into the world of Jazz as being more cerebral, more intellectual and more scholarly . Autumn Leaves" would remain in the Davis book, and " Love for Sale" would be recorded by the Davis Sextet a little over two months later. To hear a master jazz conversationalist at peak, check out the crisp and perfectly placed chords pianist Hank Jones provides for Adderley. The iconic composer/trumpeter steps into the role of sideman on the 1958 set, one of just a handful of times he’d make such a move after the calendar passed the mid-1950s.What emerges is not just the sound of five players doing their jobs well, but a group reveling in their common ability to galvanize and shape each other’s ideas. The vinyl composition features a new carbonless dye (hold the disc up to the light and see) and produces the world’s quietest surfaces. This high-definition formula also allows for the creation of cleaner grooves that are indistinguishable from the original lacquer.

For reasons that extend far beyond the outstanding playing and flawless repertoire, Somethin’ Else is without question a record you’ll always want to watch and hear come together. Without question, the discreet interpretations of the Johnny Mercer and Cole Porter songs, respectively, found on Somethin’ Else have long been considered part of jazz’s alluring mystique.

A slip case, which holds two slip cases, each holds a slip-flip-cardboard thingy, which holds a MoFi sleeve.Throughout its history, Mobile Fidelity has remained true to this goal, pioneering state-of-the-art technologies and setting audiophile standards that remain in place today.

The vibrant potency reveals itself openly on an analogue set that provides full-range reproduction of an ensemble that also includes pianist Hank Jones, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Blakey. yet, even in the face of poly rhythms and poly tonalities, which appeal to a certain elite, Cannonball would not forsake, or forget his roots, raising the bar, yet preserving the music, keeping it understandable by using the vocabulary of Blues and Gospel. Miles, as quoted in the original liner notes, recounted, "All my inspiration today comes from Ahmad Jamal, the Chicago pianist. Also on the session is trumpeter Miles Davis in one of his handful of recording dates for Blue Note.
