Cannonball Adderley - Autumn Leaves download song

this Cannonball solo........Beyond excellence

I love Art Blakey's music - and this is great too!

Makes me want to load up my tunes and take a slow, lingering 1,000 -mile road trip along the back roads to nowhere all by lonesome.

Hank Jones layin' down the coolest fucking intro to Autumn Leaves, EVER!

Cannonball's solo is mind boggling in its laid back, bluesy, abolutely swinging complexity. This is my favorite solo he ever took. Interesting, this was recorded almost exactly one year before he went into the studio with Miles and Trane to record Kind of Blue. Miles plays in the ravishingly beautiful style that he used in this time period. Also interesting is to hear Art Blakey (so fiery with the Messengers) just lay back and play a sweet smooth swinging groove, simple but solid as a mf... Hank Jones on piano and Sam Jones on bass....just the sweetest butter.... Anybody ever heard as good an Alto Saxophone solo as this tour de force? Let me know, because if so, I want to hear it!!!!

Such precision, feeling and elegance. The Cool personified.

In no way shape or form am I comparing or jousting. Take a listen to Jeep aka Johnny Hodges for a comparable and another era Alto player. Of course, too, there's Bird and Art Pepper. I love me some Cannonball. I am merely suggesting a listen to these others. No more, no less. ENJOY.

I guess miles was keeping up with the joneses

One of the greatest song intros.

this is called a timeless piece-each time you hear you discover a fresh sense of joy.....amazing !

Why does this have under 12000 views while mainstream shitstorms like Justin Bieber and the like have millions?

This could be the finest rendition.

"Is that what you wanted, Alfred?"

03:13-03:24 thats one of the sickest music lick I have ever heard in my life, crazy!

This is one of my favorite songs - so light, smooth, relaxing - the epitome of "cool jazz". The album "Somthin' Else", which this song came from, may very well be the best "cool jazz" album ever recorded. Very light, smooth feel - with class.
