Somethin' Else is a 1958 album by jazz musician Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, regarded as a landmark album in the hard bop and cool styles. This critically-acclaimed album is notable for the presence and prominent contributions of Miles Davis, in one of his few recording dates for Blue Note Records. Many critics and jazz fans consider Somethin' Else to be among the greatest jazz albums of all time.

When alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley culled together this quartet, he grabbed three champions from seemingly disparate schools to complement his flinty solos: Miles Davis, the king of cool; Art Blakey, the thundering force of hard bop; Hank Jones, a veteran of swing; and Sam Jones, a versatile bassist adaptable to nearly any setting. The results are one of Blue Note's most beloved albums. The open-ended beauty of "Autumn Leaves," which features Davis beautifully stating the melody on muted trumpet, sounds like it could easily be an outtake from Kind of Blue (which it isn't). The midtempo title track provides the centerpiece of this classic as Adderley echoes Miles's swaggering melody before both unravel wonderful solos.

    This track is 55 years old! It was recorded when I was 10 years old. I feel privileged to be around whilst this music is available to listen to. I had the LP, I had the CD now I listen to it here on You Tube and on download. The music surpasses ALL this technology. Brilliant.

    That's simply because jazz is real music, unbeatable, no comparison to modern pop.

    Because it's Autumn Leaves, a piece of music that's soothing and beautiful like the colors and atmosphere of Autumn. At least that's what I feel a lot, and I've heard other Jazz musicians characterize it the same way.
