Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1997, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley California).

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's final studio album, PYRAMID, is a remarkable farewell. The 1974 release, recorded with a septet lineup featuring cornet player Nat Adderley and clavinet player George Duke--both of whom would go on to lead their own combos later in the decade--features Adderley's alto and soprano saxes in a funky brand of fusion. The music never succumbs to the lumbering excesses the fusion style was beginning to become known for by this time. In fact, much of the charm of PYRAMID is due to its unusual brevity. The entire eight-track album is over in 23-and-a-half minutes. Considering that other fusion players were releasing single compositions that ran twice as long, PYRAMID is almost like a punk album! The centerpiece is the three-part "Suite Cannon," a complex yet swinging affair full of Adderley's typical grace and fire.

Originally released on Fantasy (9455).

Cannonball Adderley Quintet: Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (soprano & alto saxophones); Nat Adderley (cornet); Hal Galper (electric piano); Walter Booker (acoustic bass); Roy McCurdy (drums).

Producers: Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, David Axelrod.

Additional personnel: Jimmy Jones (piano); George Duke (acoustic & electric clavinets, ARP synthesizer); Phil Upchurch (guitar).

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars One of the Great Cannonball's last recordings
An excellent CD, although pretty short in length. Not as great as Phenix, but an excellent example of Cannonball's last group. Highly recommended.

This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos. This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased ...

Roz Corral, who makes her recording debut on this CD, sounds a bit like Ella Fitzgerald on the opening "Too Close for Comfort," but otherwise her warm voice is quite individual. She swings, sticks close to the melody and lyrics, and is a very capable storyteller. Her set greatly benefits from the arrangements of pianist Bruce Barth, which cast some of these songs in surprising ways, including dark versions of "Change Partners" and "Let's Face the Music and Dance." Guitarist John Hart contributed a surprising double-time arrangement of "I'll Never Be the Same," which is usually a ballad. Sprinkled throughout the set are fine solos, including a rare Steve Wilson spot on clarinet during "Anyone Can Whistle." Other highlights include a tender version of "Little Girl Blue," a touching "Say It Isn't So," and the cheerful closer, "Something's Gotta Give." Roz Corral is impressive throughout and this is an excellent debut, easily recommended. ~ Scott Yanow "TOP 10 JAZZ CDs OF 2005" Michael Valentine, WDNA-FM, Miami, Jazz Week, Dec. 26, 2005“Telling Tales promises great things to come from this talented, authentic singer.” - JazzReview.com"Roz Corral has wonderful pitch, a velvet tone, world-class diction and a great sense of swing. But more importantly, she really connects to everything she sings and makes it come alive and sound new. In this day of young wanna-be jazz singers, Roz Corral is the real deal."Fred HershPianist, Composer"A singer of graceful flow and buoyant spirit..."Steve Smith, Time Out New YorkCombining a natural feel for jazz with an evocative interpretation of a lyric, Roz Corral offers a fresh approach to a song. This New York City-based singer makes her recording debut with Telling Tales, a combination of standards and lesser known entries beautifully arranged and sung, accompanied by a group of modern masters. Corral is an excellent story teller and Telling Tales aptly describes the essence of her singing style. As the great jazz vocalist Mark Murphy puts it: "...Roz always goes to the heart of a song." In his liner notes, Chicago broadcaster/writer Neil ...
