JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Monday at 9 pm

10/3 Cornetist Nat Adderley

Nat Adderley was a fine trumpet player. But he spent most of his career in the shadow of his older brother, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. Nat ran the band business and wrote many of their hits. When Cannonball died, Nat carried on, not only with the band, but also with the family tradition of educating the next generation.

Sightless since birth, he became the first blind performer, even preceding Ray Charles, to achieve real popularity. His southern accent and emotional treatment of songs combined in an idiosyncratic delivery that found success in jazz, R&B and pop markets alike.

Scott Fitzgerald). Ken Burns joins host Wendell Pierce to bring us the sound of the speakeasies. Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and James P. Johnson are on the menu as Doug Wamble and Vince Giordano join the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
