Soul jazz from the 50s, 60s & 70s: THE SOULD OF CANNONBALL ADDERLEY. The first of two programmes about the alto sax player and leader of the band Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley. In the 60s, Cannonball Adderley abandons once and for all his ‘new’ Charlie Parker reputation and releases a series of commercially attractive songs imbued with blues and soul such as: This Here, Jive Samba en Mercy Mercy Mercy.
