“Is that what you wanted, Alfred?” we hear the distinctive voice of Miles Davis say at the end of “One for Daddy-O,” making it clear that the legendary (and assertive) trumpeter wasn’t merely playing the role of sideman on *Somethin’ Else*, Cannonball Adderley’s only Blue Note album.
The alto saxophonist was a member of Davis’s band at the time, and the depth of their musical camaraderie elevates this session to rarefied heights, from the breathtaking rendition of “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 on this timeless classic.
