  2. "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is a jazz song written by #JoeZawinul in 1966 for #CannonballAdderley and which appears on Adderley's album #MercyMercyMercyLiveAtTheClub. The song is the title track of the album and became a surprise hit in February 1967. "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" went to no. 2 on the Soul chart and no. 11 on the #Billboard #Hot100 chart.

  3. This sounds great. The music itself, the drums, the instrumentation that somehow almost sounds like a big band despite being a quintet…apparently there are other instruments added in although the jacket doesn’t list instrumentation. I know Nat Adderley is on cornet.

    So glad I took a chance on this.

  4. Cannonball Adderly (with Bill Evans) - Know What I Mean?

    We do, Mr. Adderly...we do.

    An MJQ/Evans Trio crossover event with Evans on piano (of course), Cannonball as leader on sax (of course) and…Connie Kay on drums with Percy Heath on bass.

    Yes, this is as great as that sounds.

    Recent OJC release, remastered, flat, silent...good stuff.
