Happy birthday to Cannonball Adderley, born on this day in 1928!

From his fiery solos on Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue to his own hits like Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, Adderley brought warmth, swing, and accessibility to modern jazz.

A master bandleader and educator, he bridged hard bop, soul jazz, and beyond, inspiring generations of musicians with his exuberant sound and spirit.
