[edit] Discography
The discography on this page is quite a bit less than Adderley's actual output, so I have added "selected" to the name of the section. Someone might want to go through and finish it, in which case that could be removed. Cgray4 11:41, 2005 September 7 (UTC)
[edit] line-up on Country Preacher
The liner notes of the above-mentioned album do not mention who sings on the track Oh Babe. I suppose it must be Nat Adderley, as Cannonball can be heard playing a soft sax in the background, but as it is a live recording, it could just be some mate dropping by for a jam. Does anybody out there know? Thank you. 83.180.174.34 11:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Professional musician/music teacher - which came first?
The info in the article is self-contradictory on this point. The leader states: 'he was a music teacher before beginning his jazz career', while the next section says:'His professional career was long established prior to teaching applied instrumental music classes at Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida'. Either one or other of these statements is plain wrong, and should be removed, or there's some nuance to the latter that is not clearly enough explained (eg, if the Dillard appointment was not his first teaching job). Could somebody better versed in the subject than me sort this out? Guy Hatton 09:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
What they mean is that his educational career was already established. I've clarified it. Ehburrus 02:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- That wouldn't quite resolve Guy Hatton's perceived contradiction though. I think the word "jazz career" means his fame in jazz, after he and his brother had moved to NYC in 1955. He already had played in R&B bands in Florida, for money, presumably before he became an educator. But I'll have to check to verify this. ---Sluzzelin 02:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- OK, that works.---Sluzzelin 02:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discography Link-age
I have made every Cannonball album in his discography a link. Please help out by making pages for each one! Gautam Discuss 17:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reference to Bahamian Heritage Needed
Someone needs to add some detailed information about his Bahamian heritage. He used to make trips back to the Bahamas sometimes ... since Adderley is a DISTICTIVE Bahamian surname (like Knowles, Rolle, Wildgoose, Rahming, Pinder etc) this should be considered a great omission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.192.31 (talk) 09:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
