Cannonball and Bill


I keep coming back to recordings featuring both Bill Evans and Cannonball Adderley. Adderley was probably my favorite alto saxophonist in 2010 and 2011, but I have not listened to him much since then. Other alto greats, such as Ornette Coleman, occupied my attention. But Adderley's soulful alto is the perfect counterpoint to Bill Evans. Adderley's sound pushed Bill to a bluesier direction, conspicuous in his too-brief solo here.
