Julian Cannonball Adderley
The Great African-American Classical Art-Form
Cannonball, Harlem 1963
"Hipness is not a state of mind. It's a fact of life. You don't decide you're hip. It just happens that way. You get a lot of people who are SUPPOSED to be hip. And they walk around like they're SUPPOSED to be hip." Julian Cannonball Adderley. #HighArt
Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual TV Show (UK) featured numerous Jazz artist to include The Julian Cannonball Adderley Quintet. Although this episode is an abbreviated version it portrays the essence of both Host and Artist.
The graphics and titling are mine so to ID the musicians, songs and composers as well as cover up previous graphics from a Public Access Show from which this footage came from. In keeping with professional courtesy I have to acknowledge Ralph Gleason and the Jazz Casual as well as "BOFFO!" for supplying this footage and The Julian Cannonball Adderley Quintet for the performance.

Cannonball, "He had a certain spirit. You couldn't put your finger on it, but it was there in his playing every night."

Art music "so-called Jazz" exits for the fulfillment of the artist, regardless of public acceptance. Usually the music is of a more complex structure and is open to individual interpretation by the listener. ~ Rashid "The Jazz Aficionado" Booker, Keeping the Idiom Alive
