Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago(Mercury, 1959)
Cannonball Adderley's alto saxophone plays exquisite jazz, guided by Wynton Kelly's light piano.
These are all songs that are super exciting without ligic.
John Coltrane is provoked by Cannonball and plays the tenor saxophone in an effort to defeat him.
It's interesting to hear not only the difference in tone between alto and tenor, but also the difference in temperament between the two.
This album remains one of the best.
