Cannonball's Sharpshooters, released in 1958, features alto saxophonist Julian “Cannonball” Adderley leading a quintet comprised of Nat Adderley (cornet), Junior Mance (piano), Sam Jones (bass) and Jimmy Cobb (drums). In this session defined by Adderley’s characteristic exuberance, the ensemble presents a tight hard-bop program consisting of standards, bop tunes and originals. Mastered from analog tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
