Somethin’ Else is a jazz album by alto saxophonist Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, his only album on the Blue Note label, recorded and released in 1958. Also on the session is trumpeter Miles Davis in one of his handful of recording dates for Blue Note. Adderley was a member of Davis’ group at the time, and the album was recorded shortly after Davis’ own landmark album Milestones. The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected Somethin’ Else as part of its suggested “Core Collection.”
The album was recorded during Adderley’s membership in the Miles Davis’ First Great Quintet, and it also marks one of the few recordings Davis made as a sideman after 1955. Indeed, Davis plays several of the first solos, composed the bluesy title track and, according to the liner notes, chose most of the material.[7] “Autumn Leaves” would remain in the Davis book, and “Love for Sale” would be recorded by the Davis Sextet a little over two months later.[8] In the original liner notes for album, Miles is quoted as follows: “All my inspiration today comes from Ahmad Jamal, the Chicago pianist. I got the idea for this treatment of “Autumn Leaves” from him.”
The twelve-bar blues “One for Daddy-O” was written by Adderley’s brother Nat for Chicago radio DJ Holmes “Daddy-O” Daylie. At the end of that track, Davis can be heard addressing producer Alfred Lion, saying “is that what you wanted, Alfred?” Adderley and Davis would also play together on the 1958 Columbia Records release Milestones, as well as the 1959 landmark Kind of Blue, one of the most universally acclaimed jazz albums.
