Two jazz singles

Julian Cannonball Adderley was a 1950s and 60s hard-bop era jazz alto saxophonist. He got his nickname, Cannonball, from his eating habits in high school.

I suggest him today because he's a Florida native. He grew up in Tampa and taught at both Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale and at Florida A&M in Tallahassee. It was in Tallahassee in the 1940s that he collaborated with Ray Charles. In the late 50s in New York, he played with Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Cannonball's history speaks for itself; he's a jazz great.
