The Japanese Concerts

Vinyl LP.

Mycket gott skick. 2-LP, Milestone M-47029 (1963 / 1975). Altsaxofonisten Julian "Cannonball" Adderley och hans bror, kornettisten Nat Adderley, kom upp till New York från Florida i mitten av 1950-talet och väckte direkt uppmärksamhet med sin svängiga, själfulla musik, rotad i bebop och blues. Cannonball värvades av Miles Davis och ingick i den sextett som spelade in den banbrytande "Kind of blue". Sedan startade han sitt eget band, tillsammans med brorsan Nat och det blev en av 60-talets framgångsrikaste grupper. En österrikisk pianist vid namn Joe Zawinul anslöt, en musiker som senare skulle skriva historia med gruppen Weather Report.Bröderna Adderleys sextett hörs på detta dubbelalbum i liveupptagningar från en succéartad turné i Japan. Orrin Keepnews har skrivit en informativ text på utvikningskonvolutets mittuppslag."Cannonball Adderley's finest group (his sextet with cornetist Nat Adderley, Yusef Lateef on tenor, flute and oboe, pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes) is heard at the peak of their powers on this two-LP set. The first half was previously released as Nippon Soul while the second LP was only issued for the first time in 1975. After a period of stable personnel (all but Zawinul and Lateef had been in the band since 1959), these musicians were very familiar with each other's playing and they had grown together. The enthusiastic Japanese crowds inspired the all-star band to some of their most rewarding playing, which can be heard on such standouts as "Nippon Soul," "Come Sunday," "Work Song," "Dizzy's Business" and "Jive Samba" among others. It's a definitive portrait of a classic group." (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)11 spår; speltid ca 92 min. Vinyl Mycket gott skick . USA-pressning. Ngt lagernött omslag.
