Cannonball Adderley – Alison’s Uncle / Autumn Leaves (Japanese Pressing)

Very Rare Japanese 12″ pressing

This isn’t an actual full length LP, but rather 2 previously unissued tracks from the Somethin’ Else sessions, packaged up beautifully and issued on vinyl only in Japan! These tunes, along with the rest of the album was recorded at a time when Adderley was working with Miles Davis – and as such, the session features a group that includes Miles, blowing in a cool tone that’s a perfect offset to Cannonball’s more soulful style. The rest of the group includes Hank Jones, Sam Jones, and Art Blakey – and like John Coltrane’s Blue Train, the record’s more of an “special session” than the usual Blue Note album, but the strength of the players make it one of the more memorable records of its day, so it’s even more special to have these extra tracks! © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
