Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else [Indie Exclusive, Blue Vinyl]

A cornerstone of hard bop, Somethin' Else captures Cannonball Adderley in a rare session as a bandleader alongside some of jazz’s greatest players. Recorded in 1958 for Blue Note, the album pairs his soulful alto sax with Miles Davis's understated trumpet work, creating a laid-back but deeply expressive atmosphere. This Indie Exclusive blue vinyl edition offers a fresh visual twist on one of the most revered jazz records of all time.

"Autumn Leaves" opens the session with a hauntingly beautiful interplay between Adderley and Davis, setting a lyrical tone. "Love for Sale" swings with rhythmic intensity and sharp improvisation, while the title track, "Somethin' Else," highlights the conversational chemistry of the entire ensemble, including Art Blakey on drums and Hank Jones on piano. Every performance feels both effortless and masterfully constructed.

The blue vinyl pressing delivers warm, natural sound that suits the intimate recording quality of late-1950s Blue Note sessions. Housed in a faithful reproduction of the original cover art, this limited Indie Exclusive pressing blends collectible appeal with the timeless experience of hearing Somethin' Else in its analog glory.
