Cannonball Adderley Money in the Pocket (Live)

The Cannonball Adderley quintet with brother Nat, Joe Zawinul, and new members Herbie Lewis and Roy McCurdy recorded live at The Club in Chicago in March 1966. An album was prepared and forgotten when the band came up with "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy." The newly-discovered tapes of that album and additional material from the date make up this great previously unissued 63- minute CD. Highlights include the debut of Joe Zawinul's "Requiem for a Jazz Musician," a revival of Adderley's slow blues "Hear Me Talkin' to Ya" from his first record date in 1955, a masterful version of "Star Dust," and an explosive version of "Fiddler on the Roof." An important find.
