Somethin' Else (1958)

Cannonball Adderley's album for Blue Note features Miles Davis in a rare sideman role, and the pairing is one of the warmest in jazz. Their Autumn Leaves is the way in: Miles states the melody on muted trumpet with haunting patience, then Cannonball's bluesy, exuberant alto takes it somewhere sunnier. If you like Kind of Blue, this is the natural next step.
