Cannonball Adderley - Mercy Mercy Mercy, Walk Tall. With Joe Zawinul, Nat Adderley

The only film I've seen of Cannonball playing his biggest hit. Edited from a TV documentary with the commentary removed. Maybe one day the full version will appear. Followed by the Quintet playing another Joe Zawinul tune, Walk Tall.

In very loving memory of Mr. Julian Edwin "Cannonball" Adderley (1928 - 1975 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).

Believe it or not, I think this performance of "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is from the 1967 Grammy telecast!

Wow never thought I’d see them live classic music

Joe’s little riffs in the beginning before they play the head, are beautiful!

I just can't believe that Cannonball Adderley takes a drag on his cigarette, then keeps it in his right hand, and begins to play is saxophone. You can see the smoke curling up during the song. Doctor George Whitehead. P.S. I admired that man, and his music, but maybe that is why he died of a Cerebral Hemorrhage at the tender age of 46.
