When the CANNONBALL ADDERLEY QUINTET finished Hi-Fly - its closing number after a four week engagement at The Jazz Workshop in San Francisco in October of 1959~the audience stood and cheered and whistled and clapped for fifteen minutes.

In a dozen years of covering jazz events in San Francisco I have never seen anything like this happen. Believe me, it was impressive. The audience absolutely loved that hand and the feeling of love spread throughout the club night after night, set after set.
