This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

BANDS:
  • Cannonball Adderley Group
  • Nat Adderley Group
  • Lionel Hampton Group
  • Woody Herman Orchestra
  • J J Johnson Group
  • Paris Reunion Band
  • The Riverside Reunion Band

BIOGRAPHY:

Nathaniel Adderley, better known as Nat Adderley, was born in Tampa, Florida (USA) on November 25th, 1932. Brother to sax player Cannonball Adderley, his main instruments were cornet and trumpet.

Some of his early bands were:
  • Lionel Hampton (July 1954 - May 1955)

  • J J Johnson (1957 - 1958)

  • Woody Herman (1959)

  • Cannonball Adderley Quintet (1959)


  • He started working with his brother around 1956, but they joined forces in 1959 in a quintet. After some time, Nat formed his own groups.

    I should mention that his son is Nat Adderley Jr, multiinstrumentalist.


    THE RIVERSIDE REUNION BAND


    The Riverside Reunion Band is a dream-team in jazz. They played together around July 1994:

      • Technical: Dave Garland
      • Comments: This is a blues compilation, but it includes 6 unreleased tracks. Artist list is: Stan Webb's Chicken Shack, Dave Kelly, Chris Barber, Zoot Money & Colin Hodgkinson, Paul Jones, Richie Milton and The Lowdown, Paul Lamb and The Kingsnakes, The Blues Band (with the song 'Fat city'), Gets/Z Loose, Duffy Power with Dick Heckstall-Smith, Norman Beaker and The Indigo Allstars, The Frank White Band, John Pearson, Gordon Smith, The Hideaway Blues Band. The track by Zoot Money & Colin Hodgkinson is one of the previously unreleased ones. It really contains two songs: 'Geneva' (Trad./Korner) and 'My good luck soul' (written by Hudson). Its duration is 6'15", and it was recorded at Buxton, April 1994. I guess it's a live track (I don't have the album, probably taken from an Alexis Korner memorial concert). If anyone wants to know, the other previously unreleased tracks are the ones by: Paul Jones, Paul Lamb and The Kingsnakes, Gets/Z Loose, Duffy Power with Dick Heckstall-Smith (the track is 'Everyday since you've been gone'), Norman Beaker and The Indigo Allstars.
