Cannonball Adderley Sextet: Monday YouTube Fix
Andrew Hitz
Cannonball Adderley is of course one of the greatest jazz saxophonists of all time. I learned recently that he passed away the day I was born, August 8, 1975. I wish I could report that he had handed off his ability to swing his tail off!
This clip is a combination of live shows from Switzerland and Germany in 1963. It is great quality and fantastic playing. I adore the flow to Cannonball Adderley's lines.
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (Alto Sax)
Nat Adderley (Cornet)
Yusef Lateef (Tenor Sax, Flute, Oboe)
Joe Zawinul (Piano)
Sam Jones (Bass)
Louis Hayes (Drums)
Enjoy!
