king ubu Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Big fan! I just watched his Baden-Baden TV appearance with the sextet (doing "Jive Bossa" and two other classics). Actually watched it for Zawinul, but then at least here's a more positive context for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually watched it for Zawinul, but then at least here's a more positive context for it! That one is an absolutely fantastic show. Happy Birthday to the one and only Cannonball !

Free For All Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I just checked one source that said Nat was buried in the same cemetery as his brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 When I was 13 & 14 I worked at a jazz club called Duffy's Backstage ar a busboy. Cannonbal was the first group I remember because not only did he pack the house but because he was so generous with everyone. He stopped at every table that asked him to visit that week and made friends. When he got up he would by the entire party drinks, and he treated all of the help great. The music had a very high energy level. Full of life, like him. One more thing...the first pot I ever smoked was some that Cannon gave the owner as a gift!
