Cannonball At the Lighthouse
Of all the amazing recordings Cannonball did with his many great quintets/sextets, this I feel is the best. In my opinion, the Adderley quintet records best when live, as this wonderful album proves. It all starts out with the finger-snapping groove of "Sack O' Woe", Cannonball's most famous composition. Every soloist really swings hard, and sets the tone for the rest of album. "Big 'P'", a Jimmy Heath tune written about his brother Percy, continues with the driving feel. Things then slow down a bit with the lovely jazz waltz "Blue Daniel", which shows a more sensitive side to Cannonball and the gang. Victor Feldman, the pianist on this recording, is the only new member of the quintet for this album (the rest are the same as in "Them Dirty Blues", another masterpiece") and he really shows off his compositional skills with the next two numbers, "Azule Serape" and "Exodus", two up-tempo burners. The album then comes to a swinging finish with an amazing version of "What is This Thing Called Love?" and a bonus track of Tadd Dameron's "Our Delight". If you're a fan of any of Adderley's work or just love music that really swings, you'll love this one, guaranteed.

Victor Feldman Joins The Adderley Band!
I haven't yet heard an Adderley Brothers recording I didn't like and this one, recorded live at the legendary Southern California club The Lighthouse, is no exception. Adding to the interest here is that in addition to the usual lively playing by Cannonball, Nat, Sam Jones & Louis Hayes, it includes the fine English pianist Victor Feldman. I first heard the late Feldman on the powerful Miles Davis recording "Seven Steps To Heaven." When both the Brothers Adderley and Miles Davis ask you to play with them you must be doing something right.....and Feldman certainly was!

Live modern jazz with soul, circa 1960
Cannonball's quintet was close to it's peak circa October 1960 when this live date was recorded. Brother Nat, Victor Feldman, Sam Jones, Louis Hayes and the big man himself are all in fine form here.

The track listed as "Blue Daniel" is introduced by Cannonball as "Blue Danube", written by Frank Rosolino, and it's an exquisitely beautiful jazz waltz melody, which Cannonball, Nat, and Victor all take fine solos on, then fades out to Sam's brief yet charming bass coda.

If you have "Mercy, Mercy (Live)", "Live in Chicago", and "Live in San Francisco", this is the next one to get.
