Cannonball Adderley

Deluxe limited-edition 180g 2-LP set - gatefold sleeve - 12-page LP size booklet, remastered audio transferred from the original tape reels The first official release (and the first complete release ever) of a performance by legendary saxophonist Cannonball Adderley captured live at the Bordeaux Jazz Festival in France on March 14, 1969.

He is featured with a stellar band including his brother Nat Adderley on cornet, pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Victor Gaskin and drummer Roy McCurdy. Transferred from the original tape reels recorded by the ORTF and housed in the INA (the Institute National de L'audiovisuel) archives, this is a limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP set released by Elemental Music in cooperation with the Cannonball Adderley Estate and INA France. While part of this concert previously appeared with poor sound quality in an Italian bootleg edition, this release presents the full performance in brilliant sound quality. Includes an extensive booklet with rare photos; essays by acclaimed jazz author and Historian Bob Blumenthal and producer Zev Feldman plus testimonies by Roy McCurdy, Hal Galper, Chris Potter and Michael Wolff.
