1958 studio album by Cannonball Adderley
Portrait of Cannonball saxophonist Cannonball Adderley , and his first release on the Riverside label, featuring performances by Blue Mitchell , Bill Evans , Sam Jones , and Philly Joe Jones .[ 3]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 4 stars and states: "Everyone is in top form on a varied set.... One of the highlights from Adderley's hard bop prime".[ 4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Portrait of Cannonball (which includes three alternate takes on the CD issue) finds Blue Mitchell taking some welcome limelight – though he sounds no more facile than the oft-maligned Nat - and an early glimpse of Bill Evans finding his way through "Nardis"".[ 2]
