Jimmy Bruno (feat. Joey DeFrancesco) "Unit Seven"

From his 1996 recording, "Like That", recorded on August 30th and 31st, 1995, here's jazz guitarist Jimmy Bruno, featuring special guest, and Hammond organ maestro, Joey DeFrancesco, on the tune "Unit Seven" which was originally written by bassist Sam Jones for the 1962 duet album by Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley, "Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley".  The tune was also a theme song for Cannonball Adderley and referred to by the title "Cannonball's Theme".  Notable recordings of this composition include those by Adderley himself, Sam Jones, and his band Sam Jones & Company, Wes Montgomery & Wynton Kelly (for their 1965 record "Smokin' at The Half Note"), and the 1985 tribute album to Wes Montgomery recorded by the New York Jazz Guitar Ensemble, titled, "Four On Six: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery", which was released, in 1985.
