JAZZ IN THE AFTERNOON PICK OF THE WEEK: JIM SNIDERO & JEREMY PELT / JUBILATION! / SAVANT RECORDS

This new release is a tribute to legendary saxophonist and bandleader Cannonball Adderley and the glory days of the hard bop era.

The band does faithful renditions of  jazz standards Sack O' Woe and Work Song that were staples of Adderley's repertoire as well as performing original material in the spirit of the Adderley band.

Jim Snidero and Jeremy Pelt make a formidable team on the front line along with the rhythm section of David Hazeltine on piano, Nat Reeves on bass and drummer Billy Drummond.
