About This Song
About "Who Cares? (Take 5)" by Cannonball Adderley
A loose-limbed hard-bop strut, Adderley's alto sax tracing a wry question mark in smoke. The take feels casual yet coiled, a grin hiding serious swing. Behind the jaunty melody, a restless rhythm section nudges unease, as if the answer to 'who cares?' might sting.
