Our Jazz feature album is Cannonball Adderley's "Fiddler On The Roof". It is an overlooked gem in the vast discography of master alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. Not only is his band not playing their usual repertoire they are playing music from an iconic Broadway hit play about life in the Jewish ghetto in early 20th Century Russia. The music and the story are so well known and it's a tribute to the musicianship of Adderley and his band that they have made a very credible album of what is really non-Jazz music.The great tenor saxophonist/flutist Charles Lloyd had just replaced the mighty Yusef Lateef in the band and although his stay was short-lived he made a significant contribution to this date. Lloyd soon launched his own band and went on to become one of the most popular Jazz artists of the late 60s. The rest of the band should be familiar to all: Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on alto saxophone/leader with Nat Adderley on cornet, Joe Zawinul on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums and of course Charles Lloyd. The arrangements are by Cannonball and Joe Zawinul. Enjoy Jazz versions of this familiar and greatly loved music.
