[standrick]

to me he is the best alto player who ever lived. period. I love bird... but cannonball is cannonball.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@standrick He has few equals, that's for sure.

[jbowers2208]

The most underrated sax player of all time! Nothing beats a live cannonball album.

[JazzVideoGuy]

Amen!

I was a drummer in my teens and through college and being such a Cannonball fan, I had this album the day it was released almost. Here, everyone plays his ass off and has there ever been a harder, cooking rhythm section than Sam Jones and Louis Hayes? And I learned that 3/4 could groove hard thanks to these great players. "Gemini" here and from the San Francisco album, "This Here".

I saw this exact band at Shelly's Manne Hole in LA.not long after this album came out.

I have the live in New York album. It is superb the way the band sounds with Yusef Lateef wading in on tenor.

Orin said it all. a genius..

@minicannonball13 I'm sorry to say, but no, it's not true that Cannonball never used the same lick twice. Don't get me wrong, he's still my number 1 influence, but he does have some licks that he went to more or less frequently. The difference between his licks and Bird's is that his licks didn't become immortalized because of 1) his lack of notoriety in comparison to Bird (as discussed in the video) and 2) there was never an Adderley Omnibook (except for one that you can't get in stores).

Under-rated according to whom? Cannonball was always among the very top masters in my book. Ask any good saxophonist if they don't study Cannonball, impossible. No band swings like this one.
