Presenting Cannonball is the 1955 debut album by jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, released on the Savoy label, featuring a quintet with Nat Adderley, Hank Jones, Paul Chambers, and Kenny Clarke. The CD release included bonus tracks of alternate takes of tracks from Adderley's recording debut originally released as Kenny Clarke's Bohemia After Dark (1955).
The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Everything was already in place at the time of his 1955 debut with brother Nat playing the eternal second fiddle". The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Already at this early stage, Adderley was a powerful player with a soulful sound that was almost distinctive."
All compositions by Julian "Cannonball" Adderley except where noted.
