Julian "Cannonball" Adderley

Cannonball Adderley was a jazz alto saxophonist from Tampa, Florida (1928 - 1975). He moved to New York in the 1950's and it was at this time that his jazz career began. He joined the Miles Davis sextet in 1957 just prior to John Coltrane returning to the group. After leaving the Miles Davis sextet he formed a group with his brother Nat Adderley.
