Our Take

CANNONBALL ADDERLEY & BILL EVANS - Know What I Mean?

From the moment you press play on this jazzy little gem, you'll find yourself transported to a magical land where saxophones wail and pianos tinkle like fairy dust. Cannonball Adderley and Bill Evans are like two peas in a pod on this album, their musical chemistry so strong you can practically see the sparks flying.

The opening track "Waltz for Debby" sets the tone perfectly, with Evans' delicate piano work intertwining beautifully with Adderley's soulful saxophone. It's a match made in musical heaven, and one that continues throughout the entire album.

Tracks like "Toy" and "Elsa" showcase the playful side of these two musical geniuses, with Adderley's saxophone dancing around Evans' piano like a mischievous imp. It's impossible not to smile while listening to these toe-tapping tunes.

But it's not all fun and games on Know What I Mean? Tracks like "Who Cares?" and "Venice" show a more introspective side to Adderley and Evans, with haunting melodies that will linger in your mind long after the music has stopped.

Overall, Know What I Mean? is a delightful journey through the minds of two of jazz's finest musicians. Adderley and Evans are a match made in musical heaven, and this album is proof that sometimes, two heads are better than one. So sit back, relax, and let the magic of Know What I Mean? wash over you. Trust us, you won't regret it.

His playing was so explosive that it could make you feel like you were being shot out of a cannon, only to land safely in a world of smooth, soulful melodies. Adderley's nimble fingers could navigate complex chord changes with ease, creating a sound that was equal parts fiery and tender. Bill Evans, on the other hand, was the calm to Adderley's storm. As a pianist, Evans had a gentle touch that could soothe even the most restless souls. His delicate phrasing and nuanced harmonies made him a master of subtlety, painting intricate musical landscapes with each note he played. Together, Adderley and Evans were a dynamite duo, blending their contrasting styles to create a sound that was as unique as it was captivating. Their legendary collaboration on the album "Know What I Mean?" is a testament to their chemistry as musicians. Adderley's soulful saxophone soars over Evans' lush piano accompaniment, creating a musical dialogue that is both playful and profound. The album is a masterclass in jazz improvisation, showcasing the unparalleled talent of these two titans of the genre. So next time you're in need of a musical pick-me-up, look no further than Cannonball Adderley and Bill Evans. With Adderley's fiery passion and Evans' cool sophistication, they're sure to leave you feeling like you've just been hit by a musical cannonball of pure joy.
