From my first memories of life, jazz has always been a constant .My father sat in front of his record player with his stacks of vinyl on the floor and a glass of Chivas and grapefruit juice in his hand.I would sit and listen while looking at the beautiful album covers of my people. My father passed away too many years ago,but Mercy Mercy Mercy remains in my thoughts along with so many other songs from this man.As an adolescent the sounds of the Happy People were and are still my favorite as an adult, from Mr. Cannonball Adderley.

| Record 251 Visitor's Name: Allan Thomas You are from: Kauai, Hawaii by way of NYC In 1971, I opened for Cannon and his band in Denver Colorado at a place called Marvelous Marvs. I was a young singer/songwriter/guitarist from New York touring to promote my first record - 'A Picture' by Allan Thomas on Sire Records. Cannon, Nat and the band took a liking to me and we became friends. Later Julian invited me to sing improvisational vocals with him and the quintet at the recording of the 'Soul Of The Bible' sessions. He also invited me to sing improvisational vocals at the Troubadour and Lighthouse clubs in L.A. The song that I sang and that we created on the spot is called 'Behold' and as I was on contract to Sire Records at the time, Cannon and Nat elected to give me a pseudonym -Arthur Charma. My real name is Allan Thomas and I am releasing my fourth album of original tunes next week. Cannonball touched me deeply, and gave me confidence to do things I didn\'t even know I had in me to do. My love and respect for him floourishes as much today as it did then. Thanks for keeping the Cannonball flame alive. Allan Thomas Sign Time: September 17,2007 01:00 |

Cannonball was so friendly and encouraging and even offered to sneak us into the club but we\'d have to stand in a broom closet because we were too young to be in the club at 15 and 16 yrs old at night. my friend and i were all like star struck and confused and nervous about how we should address Cannonbal.\"should we say Mr adderly or mr cannonball or what?\" he was just so great to us. we declined the offer to be snuck inside and we had to get to our gig anyway :-) he is probably the only alto player i ever dug.. being a tenor player and all that. i still miss him. this is my first visit to this site. i just all of a sudden decided to \"google\' his name after hearing a tune of his on the local jazz station here in town tonight. im off to explore the stie in depth. thanks!

| Record 206 Visitor's Name: Galvin Adderley You are from: Fort Lauderdale My Father came to Fort Lauderdale after Cannonball had long left. All we know of this great man of Jazz is what was in the press and a few friends that knew Cannonball at Dillard. I had the priviledge of meeting with a cousin of Julian and Nat Adderley a few years ago in South Carolina and we discovered that both of our families originated from the same Island in the Bahamas. I have listen to his Album Mercy Mercy over and over and I can feel the passion in the music. Too bad a lot of folks do not know of this great talent now days. I will go and check out the Old Dillard exhibit soon. Sign Time: November 03, 2005 08:09 |

| Record 203 Visitor's Name: Simon Friedlander You are from: Sydney, Australia I signed this guest book about a year ago and my love for Cannonball's playing has grown all the more stronger. I was extremely excited when i found "Money in the Pocket" (while i was in Seattle Washington), a recording that was just released that Cannonball made in March 1966 at "The Club" in Chicago and this one was actually recorded live at "The Club". His vitality and charisma pour out of this CD and it is one of my new favourites. I am currently travelling the west coast of the USA and i strongly intend to visit 'The Jazz Workshop' in San Francisco and 'The Lighthouse' in Hermosa Beach California, just to stand in the place where these phenominal recordings were made will mean so much to me, because these were the recordings that made me start playing alto sax, and i will never stop.

| Record 201 Visitor's Name: Chris "Doc" Stewart You are from: United States Gilles, thanks for all you do to promote Cannonball's music. I am one of Cannon's greatest fans and have transcribed more of his solos than anyone in the world. You can get a little taste of them on my site www.docstewart.com. I will gradually release a series of books of Cannon's solo transcriptions organized by year and session date. My transcriptions are incredibly accurate and include articulations and phrasing (which takes as much time to deduce as transcribing the notes). Anyway, keep up the good work!

| Record 189 Visitor's Name: Mc Bride Christian You are from: USA My name is Christian McBride, and I'd like to thank you for celebrating the life and music of Cannonball Adderley. Although I'm a bass player, Cannonball has touched me much deeper than any other musician. Between you and I, I hope to accomplish with my band as he did with his - to be very forward thinking and modern, but still listenable and very rooted in the blues. I've always felt that Cannonball has NEVER gotten the credit he deserves for being a modernist. Many jazz critics are so self- centered in what THEY think good jazz - and most of them think that abstract jazz is the "thinking man's" music, and anything rooted in the blues (i.e. What Black people would like) is "elementary". And since Cannonball had many, many hits on the R&B charts in the 60's when no other PURE jazz musicians were quite as commercially successful, I believe the jazz critics wrote him off. I think they STILL do that. More so now than in the 60's, perhaps. Miles Davis gets so much credit for the advent of electric jazz, all those dumb-ass critics need to do is go back and listen to any Cannonball Adderley album (circa "the capitol years"), and they would plainly see that Cannonball was WAY, WAY ahead of Miles in the electric department. Anyway, I thank you for your website. I wish you the best. Sign Time: April 23, 2005 03:41 |

| Record 143 Visitor's Name: David M. Peters You are from: Northumberland on the Scottish Border I am, primarily, looking for an old recording of Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight," which Adderley did on an album called "Cannonball En Route." However, since Parker there really have been only two alto players to get close one is Lee Konitz but for technical ability the Cannon is the best. To a certain extent we will never hear people like him again or for that matter Gillespie, Eldridge, Hawkins, Young, Webster and many more. The 20th Century was unique for jazz. I know that there are many good musicians around today but that fire and innovation seems to just miss. The saddest element of all this is that the Cannon died far too young just like Parker. These people are desperately needed today. Sign Time: April , 01 2003 10:54 |

| Record 124 Visitor's Name: Stephen McArthur You are from: Vermont USA Cannonball was the hottest,the coolest, the sweetest, the ballsiest, the smoothest and just the most wonderful alto sax player to listen to. His unique style and sound will live in my mind forever.I was turned on to him in the late 1950s when I first began to listen to jazz and collect.But the greatest experience was when I lived in Japan(my Dad was with the American Embassy)and we went to see the band at Kosei-Nenkin Hall on July 19, 1963. I was near the front left.And one of the most enlightening things for me, as well as for many Japanese ,was to see a white guy (Zawinul) playing with all those black cats. I remember one Japanese friend asking me if it was alright for so many "Negroes" to play with a white man in the United States.It was so wierd to contemplate this reverse integration.Just that alone taught alot about racism and tolerance.

| Record 106 Visitor's Name: Tom Soper You are from: Bristol UK I love the man, and reckon he had the deepest and most versatile sound to appear from an Alto horn in history. His technique is so good, you can't hear it, and his timing and poise never seems to falter. Plus, and I challenge a lot of my friends to check this out, he has the biggest entrance to a solo of anyone - he is always straight in there, right at the top. Most soloists kind of ease their way into a solo, but this man just blows down the front door, and proceeds to ransack your house ! I'm not just talking about the big, gutsy tracks either, because on a ballad he'll do the same, but with butterfly wings. Only Bird in my humble opinion could do that in a similar way. I'm especially keen to find out what other recordings there are around about his Inside Straight "period" (whether hat's before or after that album I don't know )because I love the entire band's edge and the technique and finesse they bring to funk - very loose wrists, still kind of Blue Note, and risk-taking. And the other members of that combo- what other projects were they on, what other recordings did they make? Basically, although I love to hear him in hard bop and ballad mode too, I'd love to track down any Cannonball appearances where he's sitting on top of a soul jazz/funk arrangement -so can anyone help out here? These tunes don't seem to turn up in my second-hand shop much! I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks,Tom Sign Time: August 18 ,2001 17:28 |

| Record 085 Visitor's Name: Mfana Cele You are from: Ottawa ,Canada I can clearly recall a period in my young life where I absolutely "hated" the music that my older brothers subjected me too. As a young lad in South Africa, jazz was the main diet in our household. My father naturally was the person who introduced his boys to jazz and the wonders of a quartet. Who would have thought that 20 years later I would be able to remember just about every composition done by the "Cannibal" and musicians of his generation. Needless to say, jazz is what I collect and I have been trying to find a site that would have close to everything that Adderley, Miles and the like have recorded. I usually don't curse but, this is a rare moment...This site is the SHIT !! bloodly beautiful. It's going to be my reference guide for everything that I want to learn about Cannonball.

| Record 009 Visitor's Name: Jonathan Hartman You are from: Comments: Hello! This is a wonderful website! I am an alto player from Cleveland, Ohio and a HUGE Cannonball fan. This is the only Cannon site I have found, and I have looked all over. Your record collection is quite impressive, and to be honest, you are the first person I've met that has more Cannonball than I do... YIKES. Anyhow, I would welcome the opportunity to speak or write with you personally. I have several titles you don't, as well as some rare recordings I didn't even know existed till I found them. I would welcome an exchange of dubbed copies of these albums for both of us. While I want originals and continue to hunt, I really want just to hear as much of his work as possible. I also have a collection of over 200 transcribed solos you may be interested in. One last thing, I am looking for Cannonball's book, Play Saxophone like Cannonball Adderley. If you or any visitors have access to one, I would really like an original or photocopy to read. Anyhow, great work.... keep it up!
