Digitally remastered edition of this 1975 album by the Jazz great. In what would turn out to be the final years of his short life, jazz great Julian "Cannonball" Adderley embarked on a number of ambitious, genre-stretching projects. The last of these was 1975's Big Man, the score for a musical play based on the John Henry ("the steel driving man") American folk legend. The album was released as a two-LP set with libretto, and featured music from Adderley and his then-current musical associates including brother Nat Adderley, George Duke (using the alias "Dawilli Gonga"), Roy McCurdy, Airto Moreira, Carol Kaye and others. The sessions also made full use of a large string section and chorus, while the primary vocalists in Big Man sang and read their lines in character; the vocal cast included lead vocalist Joe Williams, Randy Crawford, and Robert Guillaume. Long out of print and never before issued on CD, Real Gone Music's reissue of Big Man boasts liner notes by Bill Kopp with quotes from Robert Guillaume, and the full libretto, with remastering by Joe Tarantino. The final artistic statement from a jazz giant!

AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek
Big Man: The Legend of John Henry is the final album the 46-year-old Cannonball Adderley completed before his death from a stroke in 1975. It is also his most ambitious musical project, and given his catalog – Soul Zodiac, Soul of the Bible, etc. – that's saying something. This "folk musical" was composed by the great altoist with his brother Nat; the libretto was written by Diane Lampert and Peter Farrow. The Adderleys employed a full jazz orchestra, chorus, strings, a rhythm section, and singing actors – including Robert Guillaume. The story uses the American folk myth of the 98-foot-tall man who took on the machine and beat it, but couldn't stop it and won by losing. He is resurrected here as a metaphorical African-American Jesus. The legend is told symbolically rather than literally, refracted through the lens of the Civil Rights struggle, of which the Adderleys were a vocal part. The lead role is played and sung with soulful aplomb by the great Joe Williams. This date also marks the recorded debut of vocalist Randy Crawford (who was a mere 21 at the time) as Carolina. The jazz band features Cannonball's quintet – including George Duke, under the pseudonym Dawilli Gonga – and the album was produced by David Axelrod. The orchestra contains many heavy hitters including Don Menza, Oscar Brashear, and George Bohannon. The music weds Cannonball's love of jazz, soul, and funk together with his and Nat's large-group harmonic ideas, and their love of folk songs, Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms, blues, and gospel. For jazz fans in 1975, it sounded like a mess – it is not a jazz record per se, but a work of musical theater that employs it to serve an end. "Poundin'" has a righteous electric bassline by Carol Kaye and Rhodes piano grooves by Duke, and the strings and horns buoy Williams, who walks the line between militant soul and new school gospel. (The track was sampled by Dr. Dre for "Bar One" on Chronic 2001). "Anybody Need a Big Man," with its collision of squalling percussion (Airto Moreira), crackling Rhodes, strolling bass, strings, and Williams' lead vocal, cruises atop samba and funk grooves. Crawford imbues "Jesus Where Are You Now" with spacy, sophisticated soul; it is timeless in its poignant beauty. Fans of Cannonball's alto playing may be disappointed because his horn doesn't make an appearance until the final quarter of the recording, and then only briefly. But his soloing isn't the point of this in-your-face-and-heart meld of musical and metaphorical ideas. To that end, Big Man: The Legend of John Henry works. The unfettered ambition on offer here was wasted on a conservative '70s jazz audience. In the 21st century, this work is a revelation – even if its execution is sometimes flawed by an unwillingness to edit – and an essential part of the Adderley brothers' legacy.
