"An absolute blast, one of the most exciting gigs of the year. A brilliant all-round package!" London Jazz News With Andy Davies (trumpet), Alex Webb (piano), Andrew Cleyndert (bass) and Alfonso Vitale (drums) the group traces the explosive music of American saxophonist Julian 'Cannnonball' Adderley from his first session as leader in 1955 through work with Miles Davis to the soul-jazz of the 1960s.
