INFORMATION ABOUT CANNONBALL ADDERLEY
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_Adderley
"Julian Edwin "Cannonball" Adderley (September 15, 1928 –August 8, 1975) was an American jazz alto saxophonist of the hard bop era of the 1950s and 1960s.[2][3][4]

Adderley is perhaps best remembered for the 1966 soul jazz single "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy",[5] which was written for him by his keyboardist Joe Zawinul and became a major crossover hit on the pop and R&B charts. A cover version by the Buckinghams, who added lyrics, also reached No. 5 on the charts. Adderley worked with Miles Davis, first as a member of the Davis sextet, appearing on the seminal records Milestones (1958) and Kind of Blue (1959), and then on his own 1958 album Somethin' Else. He was the elder brother of jazz trumpeter Nat Adderley, who was a longtime member of his band.[6]"...

INFORMATION ABOUT DADDY-O DAYLIE
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy-O_Daylie
"Holmes Daylie (May 15, 1920 – February 6, 2003) was a radio jock on radio stations in the 1940s and 1950s that rhymed and rapped playing bebop and was one of the early pioneers of black-appeal radio. His upbeat patter and rhyming delivery from the 1940s to 1970s on stations WAAF, WMAQ, WAIT, WGN and other broadcast outlets and television stations brought Daddy-O-Daylie, as he was known, fame and following amongst both black and white audiences.[1] He was inducted into the Black Radio Hall of Fame in Atlanta in 1990.[2]"...

"Ooo, pa, pa doo. Had this 1958 side in high school. Such simplicity and yet such extraordinary musicianship. Skill with difficult instruments has almost totally disappeared from jazz. Now we got poets with drums and a few guys playing jazz lite on the radio. The appreciation for this kind of soaring skill has dwindled at our peril. Miles is so good here. I like how he took sideman status on the Adderley bro's date."

"I think Mile's solo might be the most tasteful and perfectly phrased soulful solo I have ever heard from a trumpeter player. Daymn"

"I don't agree that 'skill ...has disappeared from jazz' . What about Chris Potter, Joshua Redman, Craig Taborn, Chris Dave, Robert Glasper, Ambrose Akinmusire, Jason Moran, Vijay Iyer, Wynton, Tim Berne, Roy Hargrove? I do agree that the younger musicians aren't getting the exposure that they need but that starts from us listening and supporting them."

"Theme music for Daddy-O Daylie, a long-time rhyming jazz radio show host in Chicago.

"Can't sleep? Don't count sheep - Count Basie!"  I used to listen to Daddy-O's noon show every day while at college. “…

"Early to bed and early to rise, and you'll never meet some of our most interesting citizens!" "

"I would have to partially disagree. In my opinion, skill has not disappeared from jazz but it's not at the level witnessed years ago. It can be argued that the inspiration to hone skills is not as great since listenership and support are low. As jazz lovers know, Miles, Cannonball, Horace Silver, and others, reached their peak after years of practice in the trenches. Since interest was high, there was inspiration to explore and create."

"@Reginald Briggs  First off, have you listened to Chris Potter or Joshua Redman? Do you realise how skilled they are? I think the inspiration to hone skills comes from wanting to be the best musician you can be. To push yourself to the limit. And that is present as much today as in the forties or fifties."

"@Lander Albizuri  Yes I completely agree. I edited my post above as it was a bit confused. What I was trying to say was that technique is alive and well today. But the style of the music as displayed on this record was due to many years of evolution gradually honing a musical language into something beautiful. And that's hard to replicate with newer styles."
