Classic Jazz

I always considered Cannonball Adderley as one of the most accessible of boppers, performing with an immense amount of swing. Here's a good example on one of his signature tunes (actually written by his brother Nat, who plays trumpet in the group). Also, that's Joe Zawinul on piano, who wrote the group's other great hit, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy."
