Biography

Edit

Julian Edwin "Cannonball" Adderley was a teacher-turned-saxophonist whose main fame was in the 1950s and 1960s. He spent a period of time in the late 50s playing with Miles Davis and contributed to their seminal albums, Milestones and Kind of Blue.

After playing with Davis he formed his own band, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet which later evolved into a sextet and achieved a crossover audience in the mainstream in the late 1960s. His extensive discography is replete with examples of collaborations with notable jazz musicians throughout his career. He continued to release albums until his early death, from a stroke, in 1975 at the age of 46.
