In Person (Cannonball Adderley album)


In Person is a "live" in-studio album by jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley recorded in Hollywood, California in 1968 featuring performances by Adderley with Nat Adderley, Joe Zawinul, Victor Gaskin and Roy McCurdy with guest vocalists Lou Rawls and Nancy Wilson contributing on one song apiece. "The Scavenger" is the product of observation, being written by Zawinul during the previous year's garbage collection strike in New York City. "Sweet Emma" is Nat's tribute to the New Orleans pianist Sweet Emma Barrett.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album only 1½ stars but states "It's a loose but fun live session".
