March 9, 1958. The saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, decided to invite the trumpeter Miles Davis, whose band was playing then, recording her own album Somethin 'Else. Bad idea. Davis is the companion of anyone. Occupies much space, introduces the themes or plays the first single. Becomes virtual leader of the session.
The saxophonist is reserved for exclusive showcasing the ballad "Dancing in the Dark", but Davis himself clear in the notes original album, it was him who made him touch that subject.
Cannonball discouraging for the poor.
very good film at the Newport Jazz Festival 1957. Here we see in Cannonbal Adderley "Work Song." The band is formed by Cannonball Adderley on alto sax, Yusef Lateef on tenor sax, Nat Adderley on cornet, Joe Zawinul on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums.
