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 (musician)|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."
