(Blue Note - CDP8299152) Despite that title, this album was actually a live performance within Capitol studios with a small, select and inebriated audience. Despite these unusual settings, this six track performance is great, the quartet showing off just what they could do, mixing Boogaloo, Bop, Gospel influences from guest pianist Joe Zawinul's tracks and a unique combination of all of these things. A highly entertaining, grooving album, including: " Hippodelphia" and "Games."

Cannonball Adderley - Something Else. CD. (Blue Note - 4953292) An almost frightening album when you look at the cast combined on this six track album from '65.

This CD version features an great unreleased track from the sessions: "Alison's Uncle." This belongs in any Jazz collection, a real jewel in the crown.

Although not as awe inspiring as Mercy!, this is largely because that was one of the best albums of his career and would be near impossible to top. Includes: "Heads Up! Feet Down!", "I'm On My Way" and "Mini Mama."
