This jazz album is fantastic and sounds incredible. The audio is clean and crispy.
This supergroup served up a delightful hardbop evening. They stuck to the familiar, but it was still a fun listen.
Much like numerous jazz pieces on Riverside, this one leans towards the traditional side. It's quite enjoyable to listen to, with top-notch performances as you'd anticipate from the likes of Cannonball Adderley and Wes Montgomery, but it's not particularly gripping.
While browsing through the jazz section, spotting the names 'Cannonball' and 'Wes' was all it took for me to grab this album instantly. I mean, picture a record featuring both of these legends on their respective instruments? Before you even respond, imagine throwing in Ray Brown, Victor Feldman, and Louis Hayes to that dream lineup? Now we're getting somewhere! The tracks aren't your usual jazz standards, except for Charlie Parker's "Au Privave". I recall "Lolita" from Wes's later album "Portrait of Wes". The sound quality is top-notch, with a focus on the high end, letting Cannonball's horn shine through the mix. My only gripe is that Wes's tone comes off a bit thin and bright, missing that rich upper mid-range that defines his Riverside recordings. But who cares? This is the only time you'll ever find these two together, so even if Wes was playing through a Marshall stack, I'd still be thrilled.
