[Pre Order] Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else - Blue Note Essentials LP *

Release Date: September 25, 2026

Blue Note Essentials Series — 140-Gram Vinyl

"Is that what you wanted, Alfred?" we hear in Miles Davis' unmistakable rasp at the end of "One for Daddy-O," making it clear that the legendary trumpeter was not just playing the role of sideman on Somethin' Else, the sole Blue Note album by Cannonball Adderley.

The alto saxophonist was a member of Davis' band at the time, and the depth of their musical camaraderie lifts this session to rarefied heights throughout — from the breathtaking "Autumn Leaves" that opens the album to the thrilling call-and-response theme of the title track. Pianist Hank Jones, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Blakey round out the quintet.
