For this CD reissue of a Riverside date, altoist
Cannonball Adderley's 1961
Quintet (which includes cornetist
Nat Adderley, pianist
Victor Feldman, bassist
Sam Jones and drummer
Louis Hayes) is joined by guest pianist
Wynton Kelly on five of the eight selections, during which
Feldman switches quite effectively to vibes. The music falls between funky soul-jazz and hard bop, and each of the performances (particularly "Star Eyes" and "Well You Needn't") is enjoyable. The CD adds a new alternate take of "Lisa" and the previously unissued "O.P." to the original program. ~ Scott Yanow
