By the time this album, originally issued as Know What I Mean?(Riverside R9-433), was recorded (during January-March1961), both Julian “Cannonball” Adderley and Bill Evans had leftthe highly successful Miles Davis Sextet. The band had also includedtenor saxophonist John Coltrane (with whom Cannonball had madea wonderful quintet album in Chicago during February of that sameyear). The sextet had recorded the incomparable masterpiece Kind ofBlue on March 2 & April 22, 1959. Evans and Cannonball had firstentered the studio together as members of Miles’ group on May 26,1958. Besides their work with Davis, Evans would participate onthree of Cannonball’s albums. The first was Portrait of Cannonball,recorded on July 1, 1958, and featuring a quintet that also includedBlue Mitchell on trumpet, Sam Jones on bass, and Philly Joe Jones ondrums. On August 20-21, 1958, Evans backed Adderley again on hisbig band album Jump for Joy, although he had much less space to solothan on the previous album. Their best collaboration, however, was tobe their last, Know What I Mean?, on which Evans is nearly a co-leader.Cannonball had never recorded any of the tunes from Know What IMean? before, and he would never record any of them again!
