“Cannonball Adderley had to be restored to favour before he could take his rightful place in jazz’ Hall of Fame and the hearts of jazz fans everywhere. Fame itself, which har dly came easily to him, didn’t do him that justice in his lifetime.” Alain GERBER

Falkoner Centret shortly after a modernist architectural make-over hosted a burgeoning young quintet headed by Cannonball Adderley in the spring of 1961. Though it was before they made their big splash on the soul-jazz front with hit tunes like Unit 7, Jive Samba, Cannonball’s successful 18-month tenure with Miles Davis put extra allure to the band. Previously unissued recording features English-born pianist Victor Feldman whose compositions make up the majority of repertory on this disc.
