Cannonball's Bossa Nova

An alto heavyweight who worked with everybody from Miles Davis (on his landmark *Kind of Blue*) to Yusef Lateef, George Duke, Bill Evans, Sarah Vaughan, and Oscar Peterson, Cannonball Adderley was a jazz giant who released countless albums between 1955 and 1975. Recorded in 1962 at the height of America\'s bossa nova craze, *Cannonball\'s Bossa Nova* teams him with Brazilian players Sergio Mendes (piano), Dom Um Romao (drums), Durval Ferreira (guitar), Octavio Bailly Jr. (bass), Paulo Moura (sax), and Pedro Paulo (trumpet). This extended version includes a half-dozen bonus tracks, making a good album even better. It\'s perfect for fans of classic jazz, crossover bossa nova, or just nice and mellow mood music.
