Cannonball Adderley with Bill Evans - Know What I Mean? (1961) [2001 K2 Remaster]

Jazz / Post Bop

Possibly the best of Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's many releases, 1961's Know What I Mean? finds the alto saxophonist in a different setting. Usually found fronting hard-bop combos featuring his brother Nat on cornet, Adderley is here accompanied by pianist Bill Evans, bassist Percy Heath, and Modern Jazz Quartet drummer Connie Kay. In these more placid surroundings, Adderley showcases an entirely different side to his playing.

Accompanied by Evans' impressionistic, watery piano and Kay's low-key drums, Adderley's lines are lighter and more peaceful than his usual bluesy tone. The opening "Waltz for Debby" and the moody "Who Cares" could pass for outtakes from Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue, a record on which both Adderley and Evans had played. Know What I Mean? is something of an anomaly for Adderley, but it's a delightful one. This is an under-appreciated masterwork of modern jazz. The CD includes two alternate takes.

Please see also the DCC remaster. Which sounds best? That's obviously a very subjective question. The real difference between the two is in the top end of the frequency range. Unusually, the DCC is actually the brighter of the two (one has come to expect DCC remasters to generally be the warmest-sounding versions available). The DCC has brighter, clearer drums, and a more airy piano tone, whereas the K2 has a phenomenally smooth and natural sax tone. It probably comes down to a mixture of personal taste and the characteristics of your listening equipment (including your ears) as to which you prefer. I personally prefer the DCC - it has more ambience to my ears, but I share this so you too can compare. LD.
