Jive Samba

Composed by Cannonball Adderley, arranged by Alan Baylock


Here's the sample of the chart we play from the Marina Music Service's site.


Of course, arranger Alan Baylock is covering the more famous recording by the great Cannonball Adderley Quintet on Cannonball's 1962 album, Jazz Workshop Revisited (Riverside RLP 444). The tune has been covered many, many times, but this is the (ahem) "canonical" version.


And here's a really nice "live" variation at a much brisker tempo.



Nat Adderley (cornet), Cannonball Adderley (alto saxophone), Yusef Lateef (tenor saxophone, flute, oboe), Joe Zawinul (piano), Sam Jones (bass), Louis Hayes (drums)

And if you're a Cannonball fan, you should check out The Jazz Discography Project's Cannonball Adderley discography.
