orig. 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.
