AMG:
Cannonball Adderley is in generally good form on this 1974 recording. His Quintet at the time featured cornetist Nat Adderley, keyboardist Hal Galper, bassist Walter Booker and drummer Roy McCurdy. Guests on some selections include guitarist Phil Upchurch, keyboardist George Duke and (on "Bess, Oh Where's My Bess") veteran pianist Jimmy Jones. The emphasis is on recent group originals including the three part "Suite Cannon," two Galper compositions and Cannonball's "Pyramid." Nothing too earthshattering occurs but this is an improvement over many of Adderley's Capitol recordings.

Tracks:
1. "Phases" (Hal Galper) - 6:00
2. "My Lady Blue" (Galper) - 4:45
3. "Book-Ends" (David Axelrod) - 5:35

5. "Suite Cannon: The King and I" - 3:13
