Dis Here: A Bio-Discography of Julian Cannonball Adderley (Discographies: Association for Recorded Sound Collections Discographic Reference) Hardcover – May 30, 2000

Purchased this book and gave it to my father for him to check out after I finished it. I just heard from my dad who said that after he read through it, some of the information is inaccurate. Recording dates are missing or listed as being recorded on the wrong dates, recording personnel was incorrect and there are no references as to where or how his information was derived. A huge inaccuracy surrounded the information in the book regarding Cannonball's stroke and what happened directly after. How does my dad know all this information is inaccurate? Because, he was there! My dad is Roy McCurdy, Cannonball's drummer from 1964 until his passing. If you want to spend a lot of money on some good information, so be it. If you interested in an accurate portrayal of a great musician and his recordings save your money.

l was a musician in the Cannonball Adderley band for 11year and I wanted to say that some of the information in this book is incorrect, maybe the person who wrote this book should have verified his information before it was released.

Chris Sheridan's discographies published by Greenwood are very expensive. $145 for a single hardback book is take-your-breath-away material.But there is a reason for this. With the exception of a handful of other books on specific artists (The John Coltrane Reference and Ellingtonia for example), Chris is without peer when it comes to the most comprehensive, detailed recording histories of some of the most important jazz artists there have ever been. That is why my title is "This is it." If you want the best, most complete, and painstakingly accurate discography (including the unreleased and live recordings) of Cannonball Adderley, you have no other choice. This is it.I flinch at the price every time I buy one of Chris' books (the other is an equally great discography of Thelonious Monk), but I have never had a second thought or regret. I also wait eagerly for another one to be released (a book on Milt Jackson has been "in progress" since 1994).Recommended without any qualification whatsoever.
