Sarah Vaughan Award-winning vocalist Deelee Dubé and alto-sax master Nathaniel Facey front this loving celebration of Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley and his celebrated work with Nancy Wilson.

With Nathaniel Facey (saxophone), Alex Webb (piano), Conor Murray (bass) and Alfonso Vitale (drums) the group traces the explosive music of Cannonball from his first session as leader in 1955 through work with Miles Davis to the soul-jazz of the 1960s, as well as the memorable 1961 collaboration with Nancy Wilson.

Cannonball Adderley was one of the best-loved figures in post-war jazz. Hailed as ‘the new Bird’ on his emergence, he made historic recordings with Miles Davis and John Coltrane as well as having many crossover hits as a pioneer of soul-jazz. Born Julian Edwin Adderley in Tampa, Florida in1928, he attended the US Navy School of Music before moving to New York City in the 1950s. Spanning bebop to jazz-funk, he was an unfailingly inventive and communicative virtuoso. He died in 1975.
