'Somethin' Else' is a 1958 (see 1958 in music) album album by jazz musician Julian Cannonball Adderley, regarded as a landmark hard bop album. This album feature Miles Davis. The collaboration between Adderley and Davis continued with Miles Davis Kind of Blue, one of the most universally praised jazz album, in 1959.

The leadership of Adderley and the presence of Art Blakey drive a more to hard-bop style than Kind of Blue. Many critics think that Somethin' Else is at the same level of quality than Kind of Blue.
