@gbainjazz Music What I Say from the Cannonball Adderley recording of the same title

[shire2005]

Cannonball is perhaps my favorite jazz musician along with Blue mitchell and Jimmy Heath and so many others.

I highly reccommend the Cannonball Adderley playlist. Its an incredible combo of music and documentaries. Im very thankful to the creator.

choose the one with 38 videos that starts with jive samba

Great Orrin!

The documentaries create a situation that I am happy to wrap myself around. I'm learning a ton. Thanks.

You know who was in the audience one night in San Francisco? Dmitri Shostakovitch, diggin' the music!

[peppersax]

I love DS. His writing was incredible. Wish that i was there in the audience with him.

Saw Cannon and Nat at the Half Note often. 1960s They were so warm and great to hear in person. That was an intimate club

When I watch these clips I am sadly reminded of the amount of truly great Jazz Talent that is no longer with us. Thank God( or whoever You pray to)for people like Orrin Keepnews

[mcoli2720]

True deangelico, though their art remains with us, imortally, if you like. True as well the gratitude towards mr keepnews, and last but not least our debt towards the ever energetic, mr jazz-video-guy. happy listening.

[FightingTheWitness]

shut up.

[jgrodnik]

Boy, does this bring back memories! I was at the Jazz Workshop nightly to hear the group, including when the album was recorded. Cannonball took S.F. by storm. The lines were out the door, and inside the tiny club the music was magic. Bobby Timmons absolutely rocked the house with "Dis Here." I've been listening to jazz for 50 years, and these were the greatest, most exciting live performances I've ever heard.

"Sit back, relax and dig some of the wonderful things..." Enjoyed this documentary. Thank you.

There will never be another Cannonball Addreley. I was lucky enough to hear him in person, several times.

And this recording, CA Live in SF, is one of the GREAT live dates ever produced.

Thank you Orrin Keepnews!

Will these be released on DVD? Would love to watch them on my tv, all at once.
