About

Tony Kofi fronts this loving celebration of the jazz giant Julian ‘Cannnonball’ Adderley. 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 late 1960s. Expect Adderley brothers classics like Things Are Getting Better, Sack o’Woe and Mercy, Mercy, Mercy - as well as a guest vocal spot by Deelee Dube exploring the memorable 1961 collaboration with Nancy Wilson. In 2016 Deelee Dube was the first non-American winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Award.
