Chris Sheridan presents a major discographical study of an
American jazz giant, Cannonball Adderley, whose career had a
significant impact on jazz's development. At the same time,
Sheridan stretches the boundaries of discography in two important
ways: In scope and in presentation.
In scope, the session listings not only include every known
commercially recorded issue--a factor neglected by growing numbers
of discographers covering a single artist--but also all known
recorded sessions, particularly from film, and broadcasts on radio
and television. The latter are providing a quickly growing market
for issues on independent record labels, especially by artists no
longer alive. The main discographical text also includes a
narrative aiming to place the recorded music in context, both in
Adderley's own career and in the development of jazz. Sheridan also
continues a unique section, pioneered in his earlier "Count Basie:
A Bio-Discography"--the day-by-day diary of the musician's musical
activities. This is not only significant in its own right, it also
serves to authenticate the chronology of the sessions listed in the
main discography. In terms of presentation, Sheridan aims to
present a more stylish face by using a variety of related fonts to
enhance clarity and by a radical rearrangement of the information
given in each session listing. A definitive work essential for all
researchers of jazz.
