Vinyl Wednesday: The Cannonball Adderly-Nat Adderly Quintet:Live in Europe
Soulful uplifting hardbop, excellent band, one of the best alto sax players ever. This recording is one of the reasons I love listening and playing jazz so much. Cannonball always makes me happy. I love his energetic phrasing and his tone is marvellous. One of my absolute favourite saxophone players. Funky and smooth, agile working his way through the chords and blending with his brother on cornet. It's smart music and at the same time played with a lot of feeling and joy, something I miss in a lot of modern contemporary jazz. It may sound simple, but it's not. Musicians challenging each other and themselves and play melodic, grooving and entertaining, all at the same time without sounding arty-farty.
Here's the whole record, just found it on Youtube..

This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
