Cannonball Adderley
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! (жанры:jazz)
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club' is a 1966 (see 1966 in music) album by jazz musician Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. Though the original liner notes state that it was recorded at the Club De Lisa in Chicago, it was actually recorded in a studio with an invited audience and an open bar. The reason for this discrepancy, according to the liner notes in the CD reissue, is that Adderley and the new manager of Club De Lisa (which had been re-named "The Club", after operating for years in Chicago under its old name) were friends, and Adderley offered to give the club a bit of free publicity.
The title track from this album became a surprise hit, reaching #11 on the Billboard charts, and has been re-recorded numerous times (usually with lyrics added), perhaps most successfully by The Buckinghams in 1967. On this album, Zawinul played a Wurlitzer electric piano; however, subsequent live performances saw him taking up the new and mellower-sounding Fender Rhodes instrument.
