First Complete, Authorized Release of alto sax giant’s Bordeaux performance transferred from the original tape reels recorded by the ORTF and housed in the INA (the Institut national de l'audiovisuel). Released by Elemental Music in cooperation with the Cannonball Adderley Estate and INA France.
Cannonball is featured with a stellar band including his brother Nat Adderley on cornet, pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Victor Gaskin and drummer Roy McCurdy.
It’s my hope that this music will live on through these recordings and we’ll continue to celebrate the genius of Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a time when jazz music was undergoing great changes. We’ve gone back to the original tape reels to make glorious new transfers and perform meticulous audio restoration.” Zev Feldman
Recorded on March 14, 1969 at the Alhambra Theatre in Bordeaux, France
