Biography
Julian Edwin "Cannonball" Adderley (September 15, 1928 – August 8, 1975) was a jazz alto saxophonist of the hard-bop era of the 1950s and 1960s. Adderley is remembered for his 1966 single "Mercy Mercy Mercy", a crossover hit on the pop charts, and for his work with trumpeter Miles Davis, including on the epochal album Kind of Blue (1959). He was the brother of jazz cornetist Nat Adderley, a longtime member of his band.

Adderley's 1958 release... influenced heavily by the presence of Miles. One of the most revered of jazz albums.
Comments
This is one of the great albums....the music was so new & performances outstanding.....and the joy of hearing "Cannonball" when I was a young musician in the Sixties
Had the pleasure of seeing his brother Nat perform at the Montsalvat Jazz & Blues Festival in the early 1990's. He played this and Mercy Mercy Mercy and a lot of others songs. A fantastic show.
