Cannonball Adderley gave up his own band in 1957 when he had the opportunity to become a sideman in Miles Davis epic ensemble with John Coltrane, eventually resulting in some of the greatest jazz recordings of all time including Milestones and Kind of Blue . Davis returned the favor in March of 1958, appearing as a sideman on Adderley s all-star quintet date for Blue Note, and the resulting session is indeed Somethin Else. Both horn players are at their peak of lyrical invention, crafting gorgeous, flowing blues lines on the title tune and One for Daddy-O, as the rhythm team Hank Jones, Sam Jones, Art Blakey creates a taut, focused groove pianist Hank Jones sly, intuitive orchestrations are studies of harmonic understatement . Adderley s lush, romantic improvisation on Dancing in the Dark is worthy of Charlie Parker or Johnny Hodges, while the band refurbishes Autumn Leaves and Love for Sale into clich -free swingers. And Alison s Uncle puts a boppish coda on Somethin Else, one of the most gloriously laid-back blowing sessions of the hard bop era.

CONDITION:
RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting nothing significant .For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
b The record has a deep groove an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings deep groove is on one side only.
c The record has a Rudy Van Gelder name, or his initials RVG stamped or hand-etched in the trail-off vinyl dead wax . On SOME Jazz labels Blue Note, Savoy, Regent, Prestige, Impulse, Verve this stamp signifies highly professional masterings either done by - or personally authorized by - the legendary engineer himself.
d The record has an ear symbol a pretzel-like engravure about 1/4-inch/6mm long in the trail-off vinyl, which on SOME jazz and blues labels such as Blue Note Folkways Period, etc is associated with very early or first pressings . The ear symbol is actually a letter P in italic script, denoting a pressing made by Plastylite Corporation s pressing plant.
e The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
f The record comes in a hi-grade MFSL PVC inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years
g Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
COVER THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER :
THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD VG .
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has some writing on its back side name of the previous owner and 5 stars rating written in faded blue fountain pen ink, about 1/4 x 4 inches in size
- Cover has some light ring wear nothing significant On the scale from 1 to 10 1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe , we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 front side and 4 back side
- Back cover has circular tarnish grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record , probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.
- Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging nothing significant
- Cover has one corner slightly dinged BARELY VISIBLE
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
