Our Take

Fancy a little somethin' else to tickle your eardrums? Well, look no further than this classic collaboration between two jazz giants. Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis join forces on this album, blending their formidable talents to create a masterpiece that truly stands the test of time.

The stereo and mono versions offer listeners the chance to experience the music in different ways, with each version bringing its own unique flavour to the table. Whether you prefer the crisp clarity of the stereo recording or the warm nostalgia of the mono, there's something here for everyone.

Davis' smooth trumpet playing dances effortlessly over Adderley's soulful saxophone, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is as thrilling as it is soothing. The rhythm section provides a solid foundation for the soloists, propelling the music forward with an undeniable energy.

From the lively title track to the introspective "Autumn Leaves," each song on the album showcases the undeniable chemistry between Adderley and Davis. Their musical telepathy is on full display here, with each musician pushing the other to new heights of creativity.

In conclusion, "SOMETHIN’ ELSE" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking to expand their musical horizons. So go ahead, treat yourself to a little somethin' else - you won't regret it.
