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.[3][4] AllMusic awarded the album 1 star.[5] 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."[6]
