Cannonball Adderley gave up his own band in 1957 when he had the opportunity to become a sideman in Miles Davis' epic ensemble with John Coltrane, eventually resulting in some of the greatest jazz recordings of all time (including Milestones and Kind of Blue). Davis returned the favor in March of 1958, appearing as a sideman on Adderley's all-star quintet date for Blue Note, and the resulting session is indeed Somethin' Else. Both horn players are at their peak of lyrical invention, crafting gorgeous, flowing blues lines on the title tune and "One for Daddy-O," as the rhythm team (Hank Jones, Sam Jones, Art Blakey) creates a taut, focused groove (pianist Hank Jones' sly, intuitive orchestrations are studies of harmonic understatement). Adderley's lush, romantic improvisation on "Dancing in the Dark" is worthy of Charlie Parker or Johnny Hodges, while the band refurbishes "Autumn Leaves" and "Love for Sale" into cliché-free swingers. And "Alison's Uncle" puts a boppish coda on Somethin' Else, one of the most gloriously laid-back blowing sessions of the hard bop era.


---------------------

 Goldmine Record LP Vinyl Grading Standard.

Still Sealed (SS)

Near Mint (NM or M-)

The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve
should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible
 ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no
creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects.
No cut-out holes, either. Basically, an LP in near mint condition
looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed
the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and
otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight
scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening
experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The
label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be
barely noticeable.

The center hole will not have been misshapen by
repeated play. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly
turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight
signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or
corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
 In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be
Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good
Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG)

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in
a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in
soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower
the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with
light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect
the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers
(or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves
or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the
 same time, only two or three of them.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable
and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant
surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record,
 the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will
have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape,
writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the cover.

Poor (P), Fair (F)

The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without
skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on
all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover
barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled,
and written upon.
