One of the most famous recording dates in the history of modern jazz, the chemistry between Adderley, Miles Davis, Hank Jones, Sam Jones and Art Blakey is amazing. Their radical reworkings of "Autumn Leaves" and "Love For Sale" are masterpieces. The title tune by Miles and "One For Daddy-O" by Nat Adderley are classics.
When Julian Edwin Adderley burst onto the New York jazz scene in 1955, he caused a sensation with a soulful alto saxophone style that had critics reaching for superlatives. They made immediate comparisons with Charlie Parker, who died that year. But the aptly nicknamed "Cannonball" was really something special. With his amazing technique, sheer mastery of the instrument, and passionate feel, Adderley elevated modern jazz to an even higher level
