The Jazz Show Episode September 20, 2021
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley Narrates "A History of Jazz"
9:05pm - 12:28am
This is The Jazz Show's second traditional Jazz Feature. As we welcome the coming of Fall and back to school, work and business, we present a Jazz Feature that is both entertaining and educational. Cannonball Adderley was one of the foremost voices of the alto saxophone, band leader and erudite speaker. This recording gives one a simple picture of how Jazz music evolved along with recorded examples and words by Mr. Adderley. It was done many years ago and therefore is finite leaving out many of the latest developments in Jazz but it's still very relevant to those wishing to know how this unique form of American music developed and evolved. Many of the concepts and traditions are reflected in today's crop of creative musicians. Enjoy Mr. Adderley as he explains the history and movements of this music tonight on The Jazz Feature.
