<i>Great Love Themes</i> 1966 studio album by Cannonball Adderley

Great Love Themes is an album recorded in April 1966 by jazz saxophonist Julian Edwin "Cannonball" Adderley. It was released on the Capitol label featuring performances of ballads ― mostly Broadway show tunes ― by Cannonball Adderley with Nat Adderley, Joe Zawinul, Herbie Lewis, Roy McCurdy, and with string arrangements by Ray Ellis. AllMusic awarded the album 1 star. The album was produced by Tom Morgan, rather than Adderley's usual producer, David Axelrod. According to Adderley's biographer, Cary Ginell, "Although Cannonball loved to play show tunes, the lush, watered-down arrangements did not excited listeners, who had long since wearied of the jazz-artist-with-strings formula. Axelrod recalled that Cannonball hated the album and convinced Capitol to let him go back to working with Axelrod from then on."
