Cannonball Adderley – Love, Sex, and the Zodiac (1974)

Cannonball-Adderly-Love-Sex-and-the-Zodiac-621x621

As I was flipping through the Adderley discography today I found this gem that received the lowest review scores of any jazz album from the era I’ve seen. That tempted me and hopefully it does the same for you. Recorded in 1970, it really isn’t bad and can be kinda cool in short bursts. The formula is: Cannonball ranges from funk to ballads and bebop while DJ Rick Holmes speaks about women and their sexuality depending on what month they were born in. This goes on for an hour. Enjoy?

  1. I vaguely remember seeing that in the record stores decades ago and thinking, “What’s THAT all about?” It didn’t seem worth the investment to find out, especially as it would involve an embarassing encounter by the cash register, and also people looking at you funny when they thumbed through your record collection.
