Review by Yuly Rodriguez

The Black Messiah by Cannonball Adderley is a jazz album that showcases the saxophonist's virtuosity and creativity. Released in 1971, the album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all played with Adderley's signature blend of soulful blues and bebop.

The album opens with "The Black Messiah," a funky, groove-driven tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Adderley's saxophone playing is fiery and expressive, and he is backed by a tight rhythm section that includes bassist Walter Booker and drummer Roy McCurdy.

Other standout tracks include "The Scene," a laid-back ballad with a beautiful melody, and "Space Spiritual," a spacey, experimental piece that shows Adderley's willingness to push the boundaries of jazz.

Worth it for the title track alone, an early jazz fusion masterpiece. Write by George Duke and it's his solo and rhythm that drives it notwithstanding excellent solos by the Adderley brothers. Loses a star for the inclusion of Mike Deasy, he's wrong for the band and the music.
