Love for Sale
Cannonball Adderley Lyrics

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love for sale

Who will buy? Come on now
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price?
For a trip to paradise?

Love for sale

Let the poets pipe off love
In their childish way
You know, I know every type of love
Better far than they

If you want the thrill of love
I've been through the mill of love
Old love, new love, every love but true love
Love for sale

Appetizing young, young love for sale
If you want to buy my wares
Follow me, climb the stairs
Love for sale

Love, love, love for sale
Love, love, love for sale
Love, love, love for sale
Love, love, love for sale

Love for Sale is one my favorite compositions. It has an unusual form. Adderley blows through the changes as effortlessly as a knife slicing butter.

One of my favorite Cannonball lines: the bridge of his second chorus (4:25).

Hank Jones was known as the Rolls Royce of Piano players, the introduction states it well.

To the aforementioned list I would add Ben Webster, Johnny Griffin, Zoot Sims, and Stanley Turrentine, as well as Joshua Redman, David Sanchez, Bob Berg (RIP) and of course Michael Brecker (RIP) for contemporary players.

Great music on this album. Mobile Fidelity should re-issue the album on vinyl and SACD.

Listen to as many saxophonists as you can, regardless of which one they play. My listening list would include Cannonball, Sonny Stitt, Charlie Parker, Phil Woods, Coltrane on soprano, Joe Lovano, Michael Brecker, Dave Liebman. As a sax player, I also listen to vocalists and try to emulate their phrasing.

does anyone know where i can find a transcription of the piano intro ?

sclogse1

Actually the ultimate version is an outtake of this that wound up on one the the double Miles albums that came out in the eighties...when they started going through the vaults for stuff. and that's the creme de la creme version....

Is this the last time Davis was to really play 1. in a bop style and 2. as a sideman? (on studio recording)?

If you want some sax your here listen to Cannonball!

For Tenor players, I like what everyone says, plus, Joshua Redmond, most of the tenor players on Mingus albums, ditto Carla Bley albums like Tropic Appetites, Music Mechanique, Social Studies. On The Best of Charlie Parker I really like Lucky Thompson's solo on A Night in Tunisia. James Carter is fantastic too. He plays a lot of different sizes, notably Bass Sax.

thank you for public this. .l bought a tenor sax recently.. could you recommend me any albums to listen where there is the sax? ty!!

Jeffrey Newton

Ornette Coleman is an alto saxophonist. I'd add Stan Getz, Stanley Turrentine, Houston Person, Wardell Gray and Michael Brecker, to name a few....

Recommend Tenor Sax: Joshua Redman is a very good type of feeling and thinking and creating Musician.Find also his intervew, very honest stuff. Benny Golson is excellent as a composer,too. Yusef Lateef is showing a lot of lower lip. Basically , dig in your heart,don't try to immitate,but get isnpired. some players are such finniky whirlwind show offs, scaring me,not enlighten me.

Ed Boersema

'Nat and Cannonball Adderley played – Cannonball was a huge influence on Eric Dolphy' (Jimmie Maddin on the L.A. scene circa the '40s & '50s). Obviously.

Well, rather than albums, mind if I recommend some artists? While saxman was correct in recommending Cannonball as an excellent saxophonist, he happens to play alto rather than tenor. That being said, I would look into: John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Hank Mobley, Dexter Gordon, Wayne Shorter and Joe Henderson for starters. Good luck with your sax playing! P.S. Sorry for the late response, I've not checked comments in a while

how do you know it is a "mistake" and not his intention? Even though it might not be the actual perfected written melody, it doesn't bother me to listen to his take on it. His feel of time and vibe of the tune is spot on, and I would rather listen to that than a perfectly played melody. Actually the definition of perfect is: "in a manner or way that could not be better." I disagree.

@Juan Rivas I know this is late but... I would argue that technical perfection leads to more freedom to explore and as you say transit emotions. Obscuring the melody or making a "mistake" isn't a lack of technical ability but rather a showcasing of what he can do with a simple basis (i.e. the form) and what kind of emotional quality he can pour into his art by abstracting or building upon simpler things.

@jojokimbo Also check out Warne Marsh, Paul Gonsalez and Lenny Popkin! And there's some great free jazz tenor players like Albert Ayler and Evan Parker. Many people hate their playing, but who knows, maybe you won't...

Valery Kotelnikov

Interestingly, there are two blunders, first - in the beginning, playing the theme, Davis makes mistake in bars 9-12 of the bridge and gets out of this very clumsy. Second, in 1st chorus Julian instead of bridge starts part A again (later corrected)

Postatility

@Devan Kortan 😆

Valery Kotelnikov

@intrepidpooch Thank you for the advice. But I just noticed this and shared with you. I do not say is it good or bad. BTW, Errol Garner when asked if he maid a mistake answered I pretend this is my way ... and I am a professional jazz musician who meticulously analyses solos of the musicians he is learning from.
