Nat Adderley Jr.

For four decades, pianist, composer, musical arranger Nat Adderley Jr. helped craft some of Luther Vandross’ greatest hits.

Twenty years after Vandross’ passing in 2005, Adderley, the son of jazz cornetist Nat Sr. and nephew of alto saxophonist Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, released Took So Long, his first recording as a leader/jazz pianist, which held the #1 spot on the Jazz Week Chart for four consecutive weeks.
