Early life and career
Julian Edwin Adderley was born on September 15, 1928, in Tampa, Florida, United States, to high school guidance counselor and cornet player Julian Carlyle Adderley and elementary school teacher Jessie Johnson. Elementary school classmates called him "cannonball" (i.e., "cannibal") for his voracious appetite.
In July 1975, Adderley suffered a stroke from a cerebral hemorrhage and died four weeks later, on August 8, 1975, at St. Mary Methodist Hospital in Gary, Indiana. He was 46 years old. He was survived by his wife, Olga James Adderley, parents Julian Carlyle and Jessie Lee Adderley, and brother Nat Adderley. He was buried in the Southside Cemetery, Tallahassee, Florida.
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, bandleader, producer. Brother of jazz cornet/trumpet player Nat Adderley, uncle of jazz keyboardist Nat Adderley Jr.
