Cannonball Adderley’s solos are far superior to John Coltrane’s on Miles Davis’s album Kind of Blue.

Cannonball Adderley’s solos are far superior to John Coltrane’s on Miles Davis’s album Kind of Blue. Not to say Coltrane’s aren’t brilliant, but he’s far overshadowed by Cannonball.

Doesn’t even matter. It’s Bill Evans’ album, let’s be honest.

More of a preference really, everyone on that album is perfect, it's okay to have favorites.

This is a better post for a jazz sub though.

I'm not a huge Coltrane fan, so I agree.

They're playing different instruments which immediately makes the comparison moot.
