Adderley was an American jazz alto saxophonist of the hard bop era of the 1950s and 1960s. He worked with trumpeter Miles Davis, on his own 1958 Somethin’ Else album and on the seminal Davis records Milestones (1958) and Kind of Blue (1959). He was the older brother of jazz trumpeter Nat Adderley, a longtime member of his band.
