I recently downloaded some music of Machito & His Afro-Cuban Orchestra, including the album Kenya which this track was taken from. If you, like myself, were wondering who was laying down that great alto playing, it's none other than Cannonball Adderly. I know--I was like, "I didn't know there were any Cuban guys from the 50s that could play like that... oh." (no offense to Cuban guys). He has a lot of short but sweet solos throughout the album. Solos aside, though, doesn't this music make you wanna dance?
