The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band is co-led by Louis Hayes on drums and Vince Herring on alto/soprano saxophones with Jeremy Pelt on trumpet, Rick Germanson on piano, and Vincente Archer on bass. Of the great saxophonists of the 1950s and 1960s, one of the best was alto saxophonist Julian “Cannonball" Adderley. Possessing an impassioned, soulful sound and an engaging, charismatic personality, Cannonball's career took off in the late 1950s as a member of Miles Davis' sextet. In 1959, he reunited with his brother, cornet player Nat Adderley, to form the band that would remain a major success until Cannonball's sudden death in1975.

Straight out of this tradition, Louis Hayes and Vince Herring are the perfect bandleaders to mount a tribute to Cannonball. Drummer Hayes was a member of Cannonball's quintet from 1959-65 while alto saxophonist Herring was heavily influenced by Adderley in his formative years and also played with Nat's quintet. Together Hayes, known for his energetic, unrelenting swing, and Herring, a Chamber Jazz audience favorite and a formidable talent in his own right, have amassed some of the hottest jazzmen around to pay tribute to a great master of the saxophone. Sit back while the Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band brings a bit of nostalgia back to the present for all to enjoy.

Upcoming concerts include the Annual Jazz Masters concert featuring the Barry Harris Trio on Sunday, March 19, 2006 and the Premium Concert featuring the Gary Burton/Makoto Ozone Duo on Sunday, April 23, 2006.
