Cannonball Adderley Quintet – In Chicago: 2023 (AS Verve 180g Vinyl LP)

All-Analog 180g Vinyl LP of the Cannonball Adderley Quintet’s In Chicago Mastered from the Original Analog Tapes, Pressed at QRP, and Housed in Stoughton Gatefold Jacket

When this album was made, Julian “Cannonball” Adderley (the leader of this date) and John Coltrane were members of the Miles Davis Sextet. With Miles, the two saxophonists recorded the incomparable masterpiece Kind of Blue – which was made around the same time that In Chicago was recorded – on March 2 and April 22, 1959. However, In Chicago – reissued on LP years later as Cannonball & Coltrane – is unique in that it presents the contrasts between Cannonball’s alto and Trane’s tenor without other frontline voices. The rhythm section features Miles’ sidemen: Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums.

Seeking to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded, Verve Label Group and Universal Music Enterprises’ audiophile Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series utilizes the skills of top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings. All titles are mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. in high-quality gatefold sleeves with tip-on jackets.
