Mit seinem warmen, ausbalancierten Ton, seiner flüssigen, scheinbar mühelosen Phrasierung, gepaart mit einer tiefen Expressivität, wurde Julian "Cannonball" Adderley früh zum besten der Altsaxophonisten des Modern Jazz nach Charlie Parker. Unsere Zusammenstellung präsentiert das Beste von Adderleys Anfängen und seiner mittleren Schaffensperiode, der Zeit vor und nach seiner rund zweijährigen Mitgliedschaft im Miles Davis Sextet von 1957 bis 59. Er und Pianist Bill Evans waren die zwei entscheidenden Neuzugänge zu dieser Band, die mit "Milestones" und "Kind of Blue" die Jazzwelt umkrempelte. Mithilfe dieser neuen Popularität konnte Adderley wieder ein eigenes Quintett mit seinem Bruder, dem Cornetspieler Nat, gründen, das von Orrin Keepnews, dem großartigen Produzenten des Riverside Labels, unter Vertrag genommen wurde. Das Live Album "In San Francisco" brachte den alles entscheidenden Durchbruch. Zusammen mit vielen weiteren Highlights findet es sich natürlich auch auf dieser Box.
