The parents of saxophonist Julius "Cannonball" Adderley both taught at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee in the 1940's. Growing up, he crossed paths musically with a young Ray Charles. Cannonball later became a respected member of the jazz community. This was from a "live" album purportedly done at a Chicago jazz club. It was actually recorded at Capitol Records in Hollywood with an invited audience, and an open bar. The "club" billing was done as a favor to a friend of Cannonball's.
