Cannonball Enroute


Cannonball Enroute is an album by the jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, released on the Mercury label, featuring performances with Nat Adderley, Junior Mance, Sam Jones, and Jimmy Cobb. The album was recorded in 1957 and 1958 but would only be released in 1961.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars and states "Cannonball Adderley's Mercury albums find the youthful altoist trying to unsuccessfully keep his quintet with brother Nat together. Despite the powerful bop-oriented music they consistently recorded, the band would break up in a year, only to regroup with great success in 1959."
