Story & Background
"Somethin' Else" is a Blue Note masterpiece, but its history is steeped in a curious anecdote related to Miles Davis. Although Miles was already an icon under exclusive contract with Columbia Records, he agreed to play as a sideman for Cannonball Adderley in this session. His presence on a Blue Note record was a rare and significant event. Legend has it that Miles agreed in exchange for a cash payment from Cannonball, perhaps to circumvent contractual restrictions. Not only that, but Miles also insisted that his name be prominently displayed on the cover, almost on a par with Adderley's, recognising his own commercial impact. This audacious move, and the permission granted by Alfred Lion of Blue Note, was a remarkable exception that cemented the album's special status and Davis's foresight. It is a prime example of how art and business intertwined in jazz.
