Jazz Music Question

Hi All,

I have been listening to music for 50 plus years and just don't have the jazz styles and artists locked in my mind like I do for rock.

So, anyway, I acquired Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin Else" and I think that it is fantastic.

What style/genre of jazz is this album?

I want more of the same - what artists or albums might you recommend?

Thanks for listening,

Dsper.

"This genre or era (Basically early1950s to early 1960s) is classified as "Hard Bop". This genre evolved from the "Be Bop" of the mid to late 1940s. There’s a ton of superb musicians and recordings to explore".

Excellent advice. 

Be aware that a good number of the players mentioned in this thread went on to release considerably more adventurous music so sticking to chartles1dad's time frame is your safest bet.
