Description
Drawn from a performance at the 1970 Monterey Jazz Festival and "live in the studio" tracks cut at Capitol, the double-album The Price You Got to Pay to Be Free was a testament to Cannonball Adderley's sprawling artistic vision, embracing abstract improvisation, funky soul-jazz, hard bop, and world music. It also offered the lone lead vocal of the saxman's entire career (on Milton Nascimento's "Bridges"), and was the last Cannonball Adderley album to feature keyboardist Joe Zawinul, who contributes the key compositions "Directions," "Painted Desert," and "Rumplestiltskin." The record went to #5 on the Billboard Jazz chart and #169 on the Top 200, quite a remarkable showing given the avant-garde stylings of such numbers as "Out and In" and "Alto Sex," although the album also did include such trademark populist Cannonball fare as "Down in Black Bottom" and "Get Up off Your Knees." CD debut and a essential modern jazz recording!
