American jazz alto saxophonist who, along with his brother Nat Adderley, contributed heavily to the bop scene from the 1940s onward.
Adderley played with both Miles Davis' group, appearing on seminal modal jazz works Milestones (1958) and Kind of Blue (1959), as well as leading his own band, with whom the song "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" (1966), composed by Joe Zawinul, saw mainstream success.
He passed away in 1975. Burial was in the Southside Cemetery, Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida.[1]
