RIO RANCHO, N.M. -- A rare collection of previously unissued recordings by legendary jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley is becoming more accessible thanks to two small jazz labels seeking to keep jazz history alive.
Vancouver, Canada-based Cellar Music Group's imprint Reel to Real and New York distributor la reserve records have released a digital version of Adderley performing at Seattle's Penthouse jazz club.
"Cannonball Adderley's Swingin' in Seattle: Live at the Penthouse" features the jazz great's quintet captured live on radio in 1966 and 1967 over four performances. For decades, the recordings sat largely unheard in archives until Canadian saxophonist and Cellar Music Group founder Cory Weeds found out about them.
Weeds said that producers wanted the public to hear the performances and sought to include as much of the recording as possible since it showed Adderley's essence at the height of his career.
"It caught Cannonball and the band on fire," said Weeds, who served as the collection's executive producer. "The sound quality is incredible. And you hear the banter, the humor and the emotion."

I have never heard of him. I had to look him up. Most of the above had been released in 2018 but the newer version will have additional material.
