Recorded during Julian Cannonball Adderley’s time with Miles Davis’ First Great Quintet, this album features Davis in one of his rare sideman roles after 1955. He not only plays several initial solos but also composed the bluesy title track and selected most of the material. Notably, “Autumn Leaves” became a staple in the Davis repertoire, while “Love for Sale” would be revisited by the Davis Sextet shortly after. Adderley’s brother Nat penned the twelve-bar blues “One for Daddy-O,” which includes a moment where Davis asks producer Alfred Lion if he got the desired take live on the recording.
