Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley and pianist Bill Evans were bandleaders by the time they teamed up in 1961 for the moody yet lyrical Know What I Mean. Though it's remastered with state-of-the-art digital technology, Riverside has kept the original art work and liner notes, maintaining the flavour of this classic jazz LP. Adderley’s robust, bluesy tone and buoyant phrasing make for an interesting contrast to Evans’s rainy-day introspection. Coupled with the light touch of drummer Connie Kay and gentle probing of bassist Percy Heath, the music projects a sophisticated and relaxed mood. On the sensitive ballads, such as "Goodbye" and "Elsa", Adderley reveals his after-hours side, revelling in the fullness of his rich sound. --Wally Shoup
CD Description
Possibly the best of Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's many releases, 1961's KNOW WHAT I MEAN? finds the alto saxophonist in a different setting. Usually found fronting hard-bop combos featuring his brother Nat on cornet, Adderley is here accompanied by pianist Bill Evans, bassist Percy Heath, and Modern Jazz Quartet drummer Connie Kay. In these more placid surroundings, Adderley showcases an entirely different side tohis playing.
Accompanied by Evans' impressionistic, watery piano and Kay's low-key drums, Adderley's lines are lighter and more peaceful than his usual bluesy tone. The opening"Waltz for Debby" and the moody "Who Cares" could pass for outtakes from Miles Davis' KIND OF BLUE, a record on which both Adderley and Evans had played. KNOW WHAT I MEAN? is something of an anomaly for Adderley, but it's a delightful one.This is an under-appreciated masterwork of modern jazz. TheCD includes two alternate takes.
