Reception

The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson states "Adderley plays beautifully throughout... Unfortunately, the sound quality of this disc varies (sometimes within a single track) more than it should for a recording of this vintage, and the disc's 35-minute length is another annoyance. But the weight of great performances by Adderley, Silver and the infallible Clarke/Chambers axis, combined with the disc's attractive price, make it a solid value. Highly recommended".[3] Several of these tracks were also included on the CD rerelease of Presenting Cannonball Adderley.

Personnel
gollark: https://vlang.io/compare#goDid they just shove in all the features they heard were trendy (but not actually implement them properly, most likely)?
gollark: It seems like they essentially went for "compiled metaprogramming-capable python" which is okayish with me.
gollark: It is!
gollark: Odd.
gollark: How does one do multiline comments?
