medjuck Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 First Cannonball Adderley record I bought was African Waltz. The song got a lot of play because McDermot lived there at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgcim Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 RIP. I played Hair with Billy Butler, and he raved about Galt's writing for GM's New Pulse Band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to have one vinyl by pure accident because it looked interesting in a mailorder service offer. Down Beat gave it a rating of 3 1/2 stars.
