74 Miles Away is an album by jazz saxophonist Cannonball Adderley recorded "live" before an invited audience at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, California in 1967, and features performances by Adderley with Nat Adderley, Joe Zawinul, Victor Gaskin and Roy McCurdy. Following these sessions, it would be almost a year before Cannonball Adderley recorded again, a significant sign that the slump in jazz fortunes of the later 1960s had begun.[2][3]
