My Review :  
One of the best recordings in Jazz's long history was made when five of the premire musicians of Jazz, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderly, Art Blakey, and the other greats got together for this landmark recording. From the first song "Autumn Leaves" to the last song "Bangoon", each and every song on this showcases the brilliant musicianship and uniqueness that this quintet had. Miles Davis on his unique and brilliant Trumpet, Cannonball Adderly on the Sax, and Art Blakey on the Drums, as well as the other greats on this show their fantastic style excellently. This timeframe of Jazz (mid 1950's to early 1960's) produced some of the absolute best recordings that Jazz ever offered.

Something Else is a perfect way to introduce a person who never listened to Jazz to the fantastic, complex sound of the Jazz world. In my opinion, this is an album (CD) that every Jazz enthusiast MUST have in their collection, it is that brilliant and fresh and can be listened to with enjoyment over and over again. Well worth 5 stars and more
