(Proper)
This has got to be the bargain of the month. Alto saxophonist Adderley, a master of hard bop and soul jazz, died in 1975. This box of four CDs contains 57 tracks from his early maturity in the late 50s. With his huge tone and phenomenal fluency, he was hailed by many as the successor to Charlie Parker, but his style was entirely his own. In the course of the classic albums included here Adderley is joined by Miles Davis (who rarely deigned to play in anyone else's band), Milt Jackson (at his inspired best) and his own terrific quintet. All this and a 20-page booklet for around the price of a single CD.
