Beach Wrote:I have a feeling that this was actually the Miles Davis Quintet at the time (1958). It is certainly listed as part of Miles' discography rather than Cannon's.
Apparently this particular album is a re-release with one additional track (Alison's Uncle) which was left off the original release from what I read about it and you've definitely got a great album there Tigger!
Mmmm. Interesting...
The CD cover has Adderley's name in a different colour on the front, and it's listed as Adderley on the spine.
The text in the booklet talks about him being the band leader, and states that this was recorded "nearly a month before the saxophonist made his first studio session under Davis's leadership".
It seems his previous recording had been "made with the Davis Sextet minus its' leader".
Don't know how these things worked, but there is also discussion of Adderley's considerable debts at the time, & I wonder if Miles gave him the credits to help him out financially.
