Cannonball Adderley Quintet In Chicago (LP)

There's a simple reason why this stunning live album by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet sounds a bit "Kind Of Blue": because it basically features the Miles Davis Sextet (minus Miles Davis), who would record the masterpiece "Kind Of Blue" just a month later. The music reflects the dynamic personalities of the two Davis saxophonists: the buoyant and bluesy altoist Cannonball Adderley and the intense and searching tenorist John Coltrane.
