Cannonball Adderley Quintet

A brilliant jazz saxophonist who contributed to some of Miles Davis' greatest moments, Cannonball Adderley's soulful blues style cut through the more avant-garde and free-form sounds of the time and remained upbeat, direct and accessible. Born Julian Adderley on September 15, 1928, in Tampa, Florida, he was taught to play by his father and led army dance bands before getting his break in New York when he sat in with Oscar Pettiford's group. With his brother Nat Adderley on cornet, Adderley formed a quintet for his 1955 album Presenting Cannon Ball, later reissued as Presenting Cannonball. The album was not a success, but he continued to release a series of albums as a leader, building an audience along the way. Cannonball Adderley’s commercial profile rose even higher when he joined Miles Davis’s group and performed on his legendary albums Milestones (1958) and Kind of Blue (1959). Cannonball Adderley left Miles Davis’ group and put together a new quintet with his brother Nat Adderley, releasing a series of successful albums including The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago (1959), At the Lighthouse (1960), and The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco (1961). Balancing his quintet work with other projects like the Cannonball Adderley Sextet. he continued to resurrect his quintet sporadically throughout the rest of his career and released albums that were more experimental in nature including Great Love Themes (1966), Accent on Africa (1968), The Price You Got to Pay to Be Free (1970), and Pyramid (1974). Musicians who performed in Cannonball Adderley’s quintet throughout the years included: pianists Bobby Timmons, Victor Feldman, George Duke, Wynton Kelly, and Bill Evans; bassists Ray Brown, Sam Jones, Walter Booker, and Victor Gaskin; drummers Louis Hayes and Roy McCurdy; and saxophonists Charles Lloyd and Yusef Lateef. Cannonball Adderley suffered a stroke and died on August 8, 1975. Nat Adderley died on January 2, 2000.
