SALUTE TO FREDDIE HUBBARD & CANNONBALL ADDERLEY
Among the giants of jazz’s hard-bop and post-bop eras, Freddie Hubbard and Cannonball Adderley were distinctive pacesetters who stretched their talents while still making exciting, accessible music.
Their profound influence on contemporary headliners trumpeter Jeremy Pelt and saxophonist Vincent Herring cannot be underestimated and this all-star quintet pays tribute to their massive contributions. Last year, Herring and Pelt collaborated with other top NY musicians forming the supergroup Something Else!, named after a classic Cannonball recording.
