Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was born on this day in 1928 in Tampa, FL. He and his brother Nat worked as teachers when they went to NYC in summer '55 to check out the jazz scene. The rest is history, as they say.

A favourite performance of mine, "Work Song", live in Japan 1962 w/Nat, Yusef Lateef, Joe Zawinul, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes:

album cover "Buck Jumpin'" by Al Casey, Prestige/Swingville, 1960
album cover "Easy to Love - Plays Standard" by Rodger "Ram" Ramirez, Black and Blue/Solid, 2020 (rec. 1977) - - "Roger" would be correct and "standards" should obviously be in plural. But never mind, as this 2020 Japanese CD was the first ever release of this session!
