born Sept. 15, 1928, Tampa, Fla., U.S.

U.S. jazz saxophonist.

He worked as a music teacher and led army bands before moving to New York City in the mid-1950s. Acclaimed as a stylistic heir of Charlie Parker , he was also influenced by the more traditional rhythm-and-blues phrasing of Benny Carter . He performed with trumpeter Miles Davis from 1957 to 1959, then led an ensemble with his brother, cornetist Nat Adderley (1931–2000). In the 1960s he introduced gospel-music harmonies to his music.
