Inside The Groove

Cannonball's third album on EmArcy with big combo.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Julian “Cannonball” Adderley's EmArcy/Mercury era has been much underrated for a long time.

It may be true his Riverside or Capitol era (as well as his earliest Savoy sessions) captures the cream of his essence, much better on the avarage; on the other hand EmArcy staffs might have some difficulties and perplexity of how they could treat Cannonball and how they could arrange him to record the waxes.

On this album (Cannonball's third LP on EmArcy label), he is backed up with swingy big combo, and does well-arranged scores (such by Ernie Wilkins), but we can also enjoy thrilling improvisations by Cannonball as well as Jimmy Cleveland, Jerome Richardson et al.

Although this may not be highly-ranked hard-bop album, it is very listenable and enjoyable. A nice swingy album.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
