''Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club is a 1966 album by jazz musician Julian "Cannonball" Adderley.〔(Capitol Records discography ) accessed August 18, 2015〕 It received the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance – Group or Soloist with Group in 1967.〔("Winners" ). grammy.com. Retrieved May 2, 2015.〕 Though the original liner notes state that it was recorded at the Club DeLisa in Chicago, it was actually recorded at Capitol's Hollywood studio with an invited audience and an open bar.〔(Liner notes by Michael Cuscuna for ''Money in the Pocket'' ) at Cannonball Adderley official web site〕 The reason for this discrepancy, according to the liner notes in the CD reissue, is that Adderley and the new manager of Club DeLisa (which had been renamed "The Club", after operating for years in Chicago under its old name) were friends, and Adderley offered to give the club a bit of free publicity. The title track from this album became a surprise hit, reaching #11 on the ''Billboard'' charts. On this album, Joe Zawinul played a Wurlitzer electric piano; however, subsequent live performances saw him taking up the new and mellower-sounding Fender Rhodes instrument. The track "Hippodelphia" is sometimes mis-spelt "Hipadelphia" on other recordings.〔Sheridan, Chris, (''Dis Here: A Bio-Discography of Julian "Cannonball" Adderley'' ), Greenwood Publishing Group, 2000, p. 168. Retrieved June 29, 2013.〕 The track listing for the album uses "Hippodelphia", while the liner notes, written by E. Rodney Jones, for the same album refer to "Hipadelphia".〔(''Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club' '' ) The Cannonball Adderley Rendez-Vous. Retrieved June 29, 2013.〕 The title track has been covered numerous times (usually with lyrics added), perhaps most successfully by The Buckinghams in 1967. ==Reception== The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 5 stars and states: "Adderley's irrepressible exuberance was a major part of his popularity, and no document captures that quality as well -- or with such tremendous musical rewards -- as ''Mercy, Mercy, Mercy''."〔Campbell, A. (Allmusic Review ) accessed 28 October 2009〕 ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' awarded the album 3 out of 4 stars, stating: "''Mercy, Mercy, Mercy'' is a hard swinging live album with one of Cannon's hottest outings on 'Sticks'.". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!
