Julian "Cannonball" ADDERLEY - Love, Sex, And The Zodiac 1974


Julian "Cannonball" ADDERLEY - Love, Sex, And The Zodiac 1974

Jazz

Not to be confused with Adderley’s Soul Zodiac LP on Capitol released two years beforehand, this record is the funkier of the two. The concept is the same, Cannonball and his brother Nat, with the help of George Duke, Hal Galper, Jimmy Jones, Walter Booker, Roy McCurdy, and David Axelrod on production, go through the zodiac signs musically, as Rick Holmes narrates the sexual proclivities of each. The highlights are Taurus: Wampus Cat that gets down right funky with George Duke sounding like Stevie Wonder on the keys, and the deep bumpin bass line of Walter Booker on Leo: Rosebud.

This album represents another great collaboration by saxophonist Cannonball Adderley and writer/narrator Rick Holmes, together they take a look at the different zodiac signs relating to sex, the album was released in 1974 on Fantasy Records and features Nat Adderley, George Duke, Hal Galper, Jimmy Jones, Walter Booker and Roy McCurdy, production by Cannonball Adderley and David Axelrod.
