“Is that what you wanted, Alfred?” we hear inMiles Davis’unmistakable rasp at the end of “One for Daddy-O,” making it clear that the legendary (and assertive) trumpeter was not just playing the role of sideman onSomethin’ Else, the sole Blue Note album byCannonball Adderley. The alto saxophonist was a member of Davis’ band at the time and the depth of their musical camaraderie lifts this session up to rarefied heights throughout, from the breathtaking performance of “Autumn Leaves” that opens the album to the thrilling call-and-response theme of the title track. PianistHank Jones, bassistSam Jones, and drummerArt Blakeyround out the quintet on this timeless classic.
