This superb album was recorded in Vancouver at Cory Weeds' Cellar Jazz Club on December 7 & 8, 2013. The club has now unfortumately closed it's doors as of February 28, 2014. This band was the last great New York based band to play the club and it was a tribute band led by the only surviving member,aside from pianist Barry Harris, of the two great organizations led by alto saxophone giant Julian "Cannonball" Adderley....his Quintet and his Sextet. The have been associated historically with Adderley's bands and they are are now part of that band's history. This is a tribute band but with a difference. They respect the Adderley tradition and the "feel" of the tunes and yet they extend the Adderley tradition into new territory. The people involved are of course drummer Louis Hayes, alto saxophone master Vincent Herring, trumpet heavy Jeremy Pelt, pianist Rick Germanson, who can cover all bases and young up and coming bassist Dezron Douglas plus one cameo appearance on the final (encore) tune by club owner Cory Weeds on tenor saxophone. The music here is superb and o in the words of host Cory Weeds, "one of the best bands to ever play in the 14 year history of the club". Listen and I know you'll agree with Mr. Weeds.
