Recorded in New York, New York on August 20 & 21, 1958. Originally released on EmArcy (MG 36146).
JULIAN CANNONBALL ADDERLEY AND STRINGS/JUMP FOR JOY pairs two 1955 albums by alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. It's one of the best and most representative examples of his early hard-bop years, fully exploring two of Adderley's more prominent musical styles and giving the listener a more in-depth feel for Adderley's skills than some of the scattershot compilations can provide.
AND STRINGS is more interesting than most versions of this somewhat-overused staple of '50s jazz, both because Richard Hayman's strings avoid the Mantovanni-style glop of some strings albums and because Adderley's tone--as hard-edged and soulful as ever--provides an interesting tension. JUMP FOR JOY finds occasional Miles Davis sideman Adderley leading his own small, hard-bop group. The results are spectacular, recalling the best aspects of Davis' hard-bop recordings for Prestige during this time and showcasing the saxophonist's remarkable soloing.
Includes liner notes by Michael Ullman.
