Adderley, Cannonballorig. Julian Edwin Adderley(born Sept. 15, 1928, Tampa, Fla., U.S.—died Aug. 8, 1975, Gary, Ind.) U.S. jazz saxophonist. He worked as a music teacher and led army bands before moving to New York City in the mid-1950s. Acclaimed as a stylistic heir of Charlie Parker, he was also influenced by the more traditional rhythm-and-blues phrasing of Benny Carter. He performed with trumpeter Miles Davis from 1957 to 1959, then led an ensemble with his brother, cornetist Nat Adderley (1931–2000). In the 1960s he introduced gospel-music harmonies to his music.
