Performance:  Sonics:
This is one of the best live documents of the Cannonball Adderley quintet with brother Nat on cornet and Bobby Timmons (p), Sam Jones (b), Luis Hayes (dr). It was made in 1959. The music is straight ahead, uncomplicated hard bop and will appeal also to occasional jazz listeners.

The recording is very "hot", (smooth) tape saturation can be heard on the loudest passages of most horn solos. The bass drum also sounds slightly distorted. The piano, recorded with one microphone as customary in the 1950's, sounds a bit thin. The horns are panned to one stereo channel. Overall, it is a very fine remastering that brings out the best of the recording but also shows it's limitations.

A very enjoyable disc, as far as music and sound are concerned.
