• This release contains the complete, classic Blue Note album "Somethin' Else" in which Cannonball - by then a member of the Miles Davis Sextet - was joined by his boss, Hank Jones, Sam Jones and the great Art Blakey. All five musicians shine on this album, which is one of the most celebrated in the history of jazz.

• As a bonus is added Adderley's 1957 Mercury classic album "Sophisticated Swing" which appears here complete with the sole exception of a short trio version of 'Stella by Starlight' (played only by the rhythm section, without Cannonball or Nat), which could not be included due to time limitations.

• The booklet includes the original liner notes for both albums, plus the 1958 Down Beat review for Somethin' Else by Dom Cerulli and the complete 1959 Cannonball Adderley blindfold test by Leonard Feather, which also appeared on Down Beat magazine.

• Personnel : Cannonball Adderley (as), Miles Davis (tp), Nat Adderley (cnt), Hank Jones, Junior Mance (p), Sam Jones (b), Art Blakey and Jimmy Cobb (d) - Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studio, in Hackensack, New Jersey, on March 9, 1958 - and New York, February 6-11, 1957. Total time: 76:48 min. - 14 tracks. This Phoenix edition replaces the previous Jazz Track issue.

• " This is a group that could take on a Barry Manilow number and turn it into a jazz masterpiece ...... Altogether, an excellent addition to any jazz collection." Steven McDonald - All Music Guide.
