In my opinion, one of the greatest recordings of music ever created was Cannonball Adderley's 1958 album Somethin' Else. The personnel on this album is second to none. Of the six killer tracks, the one that always remains amongst my all time favorite recordings of all time for its ability to reach deep down into the soul, grab and uproot it tossing it into the air like confetti at a wedding - is this version of Autumn Leaves. Hank Jones' solo here is amongst the Godly for its simple beauty and elegance.
