│Additional Information to cannonball adderley - phenix │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│"Consider how fate portions what it takes and what it gives. Cannonball │
│Adderley's death by stroke in August 1975 robbed music of one of the │
│most distinctive, dynamic and delightful sounds ever known to jazz. │
│But the big man built a considerable and hugely popular musical catalog │
│over three decades and, on the very precipice of his own mortality, │
│reflected upon it anew. │
│ │
│Phenix - from the Egyptian myth of the bird that rises from the flames │
│anew - finds Adderley surveying many of his best known songs after │
│an ambitious series of artistic experiments and the vantage point of │
│electronic delivery. The overall effect is like visiting a cozy club, hearing │
│a favored player dispense the music you most want to hear, with a group │
│that sounds perfectly compatible to it all. │
│ │
│Adderley sounds superb throughout, working with two distinct, yet familiar │
│sextets. The first group features players from a variety of Adderleys past: │
│George Duke, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes. The other similar and equally │
│stimulating group features Mike Wolff, Walter Booker and Roy McCurdy. │
│Impressing on all 12 cuts are the always joyous and too consistently │
│underrated brother Nat on coronet and percussionist Airto, who's more │
│pleasingly subtle here than usual. The material is rearranged, only slightly │
│and refreshingly simply, to allow the keyboards to set a cushion of mood │
│firing the horn players. │
│ │
│You might figure the fire would be gone, given how often these guys must │
│have had to cover this program. If so, there's no evidence of it here. Phenix │
│offers up the bird and the fire he ascends from. Cannonball gets space to │
│express the range of textures of his supple alto, as it glides effortlessly │
│through the soulful changes. He's even offers a mellifluous fire on soprano │
│ too. │
│ │
│Listen to how beautifully - and godlike - Cannon solos on "Sack o Woe" │
│(the same melodic brilliance that continues to dazzle on 1958's "Alison's Uncle")
│ │
└and how magically he and brother Nat bodily lift the "Walk Tall/Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" medley. Also included is Cannon's resonant────┘
└and romantic straight jazz sensibility - fully in tact -- on ""Hi-Fly,────────┘
└"The Sidewalks of New York" and "Stars Fell On Alabama." Duke's arsenal───────┘
└of synthesized solos (on moog, clavinet, etc.) is also surprisingly engaging,─┘
└most notably on "Work Song," "Sack o Woe," "Jive Samba." And,─────────────────┘
└for "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," bravo Mike Wolff.──────────────────────────────────┘
└ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
└There is no perfect anthology for a great artist. Phenix, pastiche though it──┘
└may be, fills a far more necessary void than a merely contrived hits collection
└could. Cannonball benefited from a book abundant with much that was───────────┘
└worthwhile. Who better to assemble such a tribute than the artist himself?────┘
└Two decades later, the void left by Cannonball's loss remains large. But Phenix
└does much to fill a little of the emptiness. Thank you, Cannonball Adderley.──┘
