The Jazz Legacy Project: Cannonball Adderley: Preaching the Gospel of Jazz

Known as the “Country Preacher,” this Florida school teacher turned into a jazz icon after he gave NYC a try. From Miles Davis to Nancy Wilson to his own Gospel-infused bands with his brother Nat, Adderley brought the church to the stage and embodied the soul of jazz.
