Salle Pleyel Nov. 25th 1960 (& Olympia Apr. 15th 1961/Salle Pleyel Mar. 27th 1969) - Cannonball Adderley

Advantages: Good
Disadvantages: Bad

...Kind of Blue might have received most of the acclaim but Milestones, the recorded debut of the Miles Davis Sextet, is in the same league. This remarkable super group (featuring Davis's trumpet, tenor-saxophonist John Coltrane, altoist Cannonball Adderley, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones) was arguably the greatest one Miles Davis ever led. "Two Bass Hit" features the two saxes trading off with fire and "Billy Boy" showcases the Red Garland trio (showing what they learned from Ahmad Jamal), but "Straight No Chaser" really demonstrates what a powerhouse band this was....

...Elvis is forever making a comeback. Not that he really went. Ever since his death 25 years ago, he's been a big hit all around around the world, with millions of followers still making him the richest singer going. I've noticed him around more so this year with it being the 25th anniversary of his death. They re-released his song 'A Little Less Conversation', and now you've got the album out - 'Elv1s - 30 #1 Hits'. And the album itself is a hit. Being the Elvis fan I am, I rushed out to the buy the album. Paying £9.99 wasn't so bad I thought. Brought to you by RCA, the front of the album is a brown/gold colour with his name on the front. On the back is the lower part of Elvis' sultry looking face in his younger days. As I said, the album contains 30 tracks, plus one bonus track, which is the aforementioned 'A Little Less...
