	Julian Cannonball Adderley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cannonball was a local legend in Florida until he moved to New York in 1955.
		The nickname "Cannonball" was a butchered version of "cannibal", a childhood nickname for the portly saxophonist.
		An articulate speaker with an easy manner, Cannonball educated, amused, and informed his audiences in clubs and on television about the art and moods of jazz (he was a music teacher before beginning his jazz career).

	Cannonball Adderley :Somethin' Else
		Adderley learned much from his involvement with Miles, not only from Davis himself, but from saxophonist John Coltrane, who was also a member of the sextet.
		Adderley wears his Bird influence on his sleeve on this track, playing a solo that is very evocative of Parker and could even be mistaken for him by some listeners.
		However, Cannonball's distinctive tone and strong sense of thematic development are in evidence and help to distinguish the solo as his.

	Cannonball Adderley - Jazz - Randy's Rodeo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Cannonball Adderley was an expansive and personable bandleader, fond of ingratiating, spoken introductions; together with his easygoing musical style, this made him one of the most popular jazzmen of his day.
		Adderley's 1955 debut, Presenting Julian Cannonball Adderley, was on Savoy; this and other early hard bop sessions (with an all-star rhythm section of Kenny Clarke and Paul Chambers) are sampled on Timeless or any number of other Savoy reissues.
		This was followed quickly in 1959 by Cannonball And Coltrane (released on Emarcy, and later remastered as Quintet In Chicago), a magnificent jam with Adderley's mates from the 1959 Davis sextet, including John Coltrane and Wynton Kelly.

	Jazz Artist Biography - Cannonball Adderley@ jazzreview.com
		Julian Cannonball Adderley was born in 1928 in Florida, moving to New York and emphatically into the big league in 1955.
		Adderley's contract with Riverside paired him with guitarist Wes Montgomery, pianist Bill Evans and a host of other musicians, but the big breakthrough came with his formation of a quintet.
		While neither of the Adderley brothers were particularly original, their music, by its heavy emphasis on the roots, helped to popularize jazz at a time when radical upheavals-atonality, polyrhythmic, complexity, tonal expressionism- were clearing the halls.

	Cannonball - Lugano
		Cannonball carries in his approach the entire jazz tradition as much as Marsalis does-or pretends to, if you don't 'believe' in Marsalis.
		The Adderley brothers' success during the sixties is in itself a remarkable achievement and a reminder that you can attain popularity within the jazz ambit (whatever that may mean).
		The happenings in this Lugano concert are outstanding: Cannonball's alto sax, itself an invitation to jazz wonderland and Nat Adderley's cornet, with its persistent warmth and ebullience.

	Tower Records - Somethin' Else [Remaster] - Cannonball Adderley
		When alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, a high school band director from Florida, passed through New York with brother Nat during a school break, he found more excitement than he was counting on.
		Instead, Adderley responded with a solo that became the talk of the town; within days, his recording career had begun, and within a year he was able to give up his teaching job to front a full-time band.
		Adderley gave up his own band in 1957 when he had the opportunity to become a sideman in Miles Davis' epic ensemble with John Coltrane, resulting in some of the greatest jazz recordings of all time (including MILESTONES and KIND OF BLUE).

		Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and Nat Adderley are both legendary names in jazz now, but when the material on these two discs was recorded in 1955, they were newcomers on the New York jazz scene.
		The playing is stupendous, and Cannonball's alto sax is particularly reminiscent of Charlie Parker at the peak of his powers.
		Cannonball and Julian's compositions, especially the very boppish "Chasm" and the bluesy "Hear Me Talkin' to Ya" simultaneously hark back to and expand the bebop tradition in a way that would lead directly to the hard-bop sound of Art Blakey and others.

	Cannonball Adderley: Somethin' Else ---Ink Blot Magazine
		By the early 50's Adderley was already well developed as a musician, leading his own groups in dates around the Fort Lauderdale area and working as a high school music instructor.
		Adderley's sound however, though influenced by Parker, tended to be more bluesy and rounded than that of the average Parker disciple.
		Adderley takes the first solo, a bluesy-doosey, followed by Davis and Jones, who spins some nice single note lines.

		Cannonball's brother Nat, plays many different shades on cornet; from wispy coyness to rasping brilliance; some great piano work from Austrian Joe Zawinul and the bass of Sam Jones and the drums of Louis Hayes never put a foot wrong; as usual Cannonball is inimitable on alto saxophone.

		But Julian “Cannonball” Adderley was one musician whose tumbling, joyous sound perfectly echoed the boisterous, healthy soul that he was.
		Adderley had come to New York shortly after Charlie Parker died and, within a few years, had joined Miles Davis’s legendary sextet, which also included John Coltrane.
		But Adderley’s first career had been as a public school teacher, and so he needed to return to leading by instruction: He formed his own, disciplined quintet (with his brother, Nat), and it enjoyed nearly two decades of great artistic and popular success.

		While many were searching for new forms during the '60s, Adderley, in a quintet with his brother Nat, stuck wholeheartedly to a gospel-tinged soul-blues style.

		As members of Miles Davis's immortal Kind of Blue-era sextet, saxophonists Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and John Coltrane were an inspired combination, with Cannon's dancing, bebop-inspired alto lines offering a lighter (but by no means insubstantial) counterpoint to Trane's booming, restlessly exploring tenor.
		In both his playing and his interview with Gleason, Cannonball offers a swinging clinic on the role of the blues in post-bop jazz.
