Sophisticated Swing is the fifth album by jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, and his fourth released on the EmArcy label, featuring performances with Nat Adderley, Junior Mance, Sam Jones and Jimmy Cobb.[3] The front cover photograph was by Chuck Stewart taken at the Ulysses S. Grant Monument, Chicago, Illinois.[4]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars and states "The music is quite bop-oriented, bluesy but not as soulful as it would be when Cannonball put together a new group in 1959".[5]
