Saxophone History Podcast Episodes 3, 4, & 5
Today I’m happy to release a short little story that I think is super interesting. It’s the true story of the Cannonball Adderley Quintet album, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at The Club! I thought that this story was pretty widely known but after talking to a few people about it recently I realised that maybe it’s not as widely known as I had thought. Anyway, it’s episode 5 of The Saxophone History Podcast and it’s a quick listen.

Did you know that Joe Henderson anonymously recorded film music in the late 60’s to get around legal restrictions? Did you know that he quit a lucrative gig with Horace Silver onstage at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco? How about his all-femaie band? Episode 4 of the Saxophone History Podcast was an incredibly deep dive into the life and times of Joe Henderson. Joe lived and incredibly private life and not much has really been written about him. It’s kind of surprising that, considering his huge recorded output, and status as a major jazz figure, there isn’t even a published biography on him. He had a really interesting life and career and I’ve done a really deep dive into it here. Available on all streaming services or just click below!

Episode 3 is a look at David Sanborn. I think a lot of us think we know what David Sanborn is all about but in this episode I’ll show that there is a lot more to this super interesting player that many of us know.
