In my opinion, I feel that music is meant to be for the listeners enjoyment and entertainment. The musician creates music to what he/she think the listeners will enjoy. Therefore, this is how they get fans.
Unlike John Coltrane, who ventured off into avant-garde and free jazz styles, <u>Cannonball Adderley</u> stayed true to his hard bop and soul jazz roots throughout his career. His playing style often drew comparisons to that of Charlie Parke.
