Cannonball Adderley/Nat Adderley/Kenny Clarke - Bohemia After Dark

The Adderley brothers along with Kenny Clarke (drums), Paul Chambers (bass), Horace Silver (piano) and Donald Byrd (trumpet) really tear it up in this 1955 hard bop recording. This one is not just hot, it's smoking!

"Along with Max Roach, Kenny Clarke was one of the definitive drummers of jazz's original bebop movement. By the time of the Bohemia After Dark sessions (in June 1955), Clarke was firmly established as a bandleader. He probably didn't know it at the time, but he also made jazz history here, as Bohemia marks the recording debut of the soulful Adderley brothers — alto sax heavyweight Cannonball and ace cornetist/composer Nat. The brothers also contributed several tunes as well. This session is earnestly swinging bop with very good early career work from pianist Horace Silver and bassist Paul Chambers." — AllMusic
