SUMMARY:Tony Kofi's Portrait of Cannonball
DESCRIPTION:Tony Kofi won the Best Instrumentalist Award at the 2008 BBC Jazz Awards\, Best Ensemble at the 2005 Parliamentary Jazz Awards\, Album of the Year at the 2005 BBC Jazz Awards and was nominated for an award MOBO in 2008. Born in Nottingham to West African parents\, Tony spent a four-year period at the legendary Berklee College of Music in Boston\, USA\, on a scholarship music diploma. Since then\, he has performed with the World Saxophone Quartet\, Clifford Jarvis\, Courtney Pine\, Donald Byrd\, Dr. Lonnie Smith\, Eddie Henderson and many others. Between 2003 and 2004\, Tony was an integral part of the Anglo-American Big Band of Andrew Hill and the Sam Rivers Rivbea Orchestra; he has also recorded with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Ornette Coleman\, as well as with his own bands. ‘[Kofi’s] improvising has an arrestingly raw power’ – The Guardian\n\nAlto-sax master Tony Kofi fronts this loving celebration of the jazz giant (in every sense) Julian ‘Cannnonball’ Adderley. With Andy Davies on trumpet\, Alex Webb (piano)\, Andrew Cleyndert (bass) and Alfonso Vitale (drums) the group traces the explosive music of Cannonball from his first session as leader in 1955 through work with Miles Davis to the soul-jazz of the 1960s. The repertoire includes Adderley brothers classics like Things Are Getting Better\, Work Song\, Del Sasser\, Sack o’Woe and many others.\n\nCannonball Adderley was one of the best-loved figures in post-war jazz. Hailed as ‘the new Bird’ on his emergence\, he made historic recordings with Miles Davis and John Coltrane as well as having many crossover hits as a pioneer of soul-jazz. Born Julian Edwin Adderley in Tampa\, Florida\, on September 15th 1928\, he attended the US Navy School of Music before moving to New York City in the 1950s. Spanning bebop to jazz-funk\, he was a unfailingly inventive and communicative virtuoso. He died on August 8\, 1975; 2020 would have been his 92nd year.\n\nLine-up:\n\nTony Kofi - Alto Sax\nAndy Davies - Trumpet\nAlex Webb - Piano\nAndrew Cleyndert - Double Bass\nAlfonso Vitale - Drums\n\n
