Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

"Live At 'The Club'" boasts the cover of this 1966 album. Of course, this turned out to be a lie, as did the entirety of the original liner notes. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy was not recorded at that Chicago venue, but instead at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. (The ruse was a favour to the club owner.) The hollering audience was composed of invited guests and stimulated by free booze. Still, their enthusiasm is definitely well warranted, as alto man Cannonball Adderley and his band offer a riveting blend of postbop calisthenics and soul-jazz grooves. Joe Zawinul's famous title track, with its hypnotic, gospel-drenched funkiness, was a crossover top 10 pop hit, as well as an astonishing exercise in restraint for Zawinul, who somehow resists the urge to dig in on his electric piano, instead opting for a deep, mellow mood. The rest of the album cooks, with Cannonball, brother Nat on cornet, and Zawinul supplying the heat. --Marc Greilsamer

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeeeaaahhh! 15 May 2009
Format:Audio CD
This record is summed up by the initial reaction from a doubtless large man in the crowd - the studio guy introduces the band with "Ladies and Gentlemen - once again let's swing with Cannonball Adderley and the Quintet!" and before the band can get a note out he just shouts out a deep "Yeahh!!" You'll have the same reaction. Difficult to believe that at the time of writing this only scored 3 and half stars - come on, the Quintet never swung this hard on any other record - it perfectly captures them at their jazz soul crossover before it all started to go a bit flabby with the seventies style zodiac stuff. If you've had enough earnest Coltrane-spiritual-quest type stuff for a while, flip this on, open the windows and shout "Yeeeeaaahhh!!" to your delighted neighbours. Music that makes you feel glad to be alive.

Purchased the original of this album years ago for the track "Sticks".

Great to get a copy of the CD which really captures a fantastic live performance.
