Tampa, Florida (1928 – 1975)

Julian Edwin “Cannonball” Adderley (15 September 1928 - 8 August 1975), originally from Tampa, Florida, was a , playing with Miles Davis and other greats, and leading his own band (which included his brother Nat Adderley) - the Cannonball Adderley Quintet (which was occasionally a sextet - being called “The Cannonball Adderley Quintet Plus”). He was also a high school band director at Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for some years.

The name ‘Canonball’ is supposed to have originated from his being nicknamed ‘cannibal’ in his youth, on account of his prodigious eating.

    When I got Mile's records with Coltrane & Cannonball I first thought he would only be another sax player, but actually even next to Coltrane's genius, Cannonball remains delightful and surprising :) Some records have been mentionned in the comments already, I would add Mile's "Milestones" for those who commited the sin of living without it until now :)

    Kind of Blue is Somethin' Else 2.0. Anybody who's into Miles Davis should listen to Cannonball Adderley.
