Quick Facts Plus, Studio album by The Cannonball Adderley Quintet ...

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 after Oscar Pettiford, but features a different lineup; for instance, Adderley does not play on it. Producer Keepnews speculated that the second cellist playing was Ron Carter.[3]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott 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]
