Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley is a studio album by Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley issued in February 1962 by Capitol Records.
[1] Wilson considered her vocals on the album "as a sort of easy-going third horn" (Wilson quoted in the liner notes).
[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz states: "The odd session out is the date with Nancy Wilson for Capitol, primarily designed as a showcase for the young singer but with five band-only tracks as well.
Wilson had a self-conscious phrasing and melodramatic lighting-up of key lines - but there is a version of 'A Sleeping Bee' here which is one of the most charming of all her recordings, and Cannon and the others play personably throughout.
"[3] The AllMusic review by David Nathan concluded: "Given the play list and the outstanding artists performing it, why any serious jazz collection would be without this classic album is difficult to comprehend.
