Plus is an album byCannonball Adderley Quintet released on theRiverside label featuring performances by Adderley withNat Adderley,Wynton Kelly,Victor Feldman,Sam Jones andLouis Hayes.[2]
The two additional tracks added on the CD reissue, an alternate take of "Lisa" and "O.P.", were discovered in the mid-1980s. The latter is named afterOscar Pettiford, but features a different lineup; for instance, Adderley does not play on it. Producer Keepnews speculated that the second cellist playing wasRon Carter.[3]
TheAllMusic review byScott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states "The music falls between funky soul-jazz and hard bop, and each of the performances (particularly 'Star Eyes' and 'Well You Needn't') is enjoyable."[4]The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "Plus brings in Wynton Kelly on a few tracks, enabling Feldman to play some more vibes, but it's otherwise a routine Adderley band date".[5]
