My all time favourite saxophonist! His tone is so expressive, full and rich at the bottom of the register and at the top ( something not easy on alto sax!). Amazing sense of time, swing, phenomenal articulation, and an infinite musical box of original ideas. Long live Cannonball!!
Mr. Lateef was as equally a musical mastermind as Cannonball. Great pairing. Fats Navarro, The Adderley`s, Sam Jones, Willis Gatortail Jackson; some of the best musicians to come out of FL. Happy birthday to Mr. Louis Hayes (May 31st 2023) still going at 86!
It`s interesting the comparisons from Frankie Trumbauer and Jimmy Dorsey to Cannonball being altomen. Cannonball could get a deep tone on the instrument being such a big man, while Lester Young, who stated he modeled his playing first from Frankie Trumbauer, played his tenor like an alto.

Cannon always makes me happy, even after so many years.
