Cannonball Adderley The Complete Albums Collection 1958-1960 (4-CD)

Of all the hard bop players that exploded onto the American jazz scene during the 1950s, saxophonist Julian Edwin "Cannonball" Adderley was among the most highly-respected. Often named the spiritual successor to Charlie Parker, Adderley's lightning-fast delivery and clear, upbeat sound appeared on some of the most important recordings of the era, both as a sideman and as leader of his own bands.
