"Amazing material, extremely well played…the whole presentation of the concert is superb with announcements that are both informative and entertaining" – Tony Dudley-Evans, Jazzlines
Featuring some of the UK's most creative and dynamic musicians, the band storms through such classics as Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, This Here and Dat Dere, along with some lesser-known gems from the period (Del Sasser, Jeannine etc). All numbers are faithfully transcribed from the original recordings.
"A delightful evening of truly accessible modern jazz, with much creative original improvisation and a great sense of musicality" – Ken Morris
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was the first musician to take listeners' ears beyond the monumental achievements of Charlie Parker on the saxophone. Adderley's alto helped define the hard-bop sound, with his combination of blistering technique and a seemingly effortless ability to meld the blues, gospel, and funk with bebop.
One of the great alto saxophonists, Cannonball Adderley had an exuberant and happy sound that communicated immediately to listeners. His intelligent presentation of his music (often explaining what he and his musicians were going to play) helped make him one of the most popular of all jazzmen.
Line up:
Chris Gumbley – alto saxophone
Neil Yates – trumpet
Matt Ratcliffe – piano
James Owston – bass
Carl Hemmingsley – drums.
