93 years old (Born on November 25, 1931)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Nat Adderley! Your soulful trumpet and cornet melodies have always been music's secret sauce—though we suspect your brother Julian might argue otherwise. From bebop brilliance with Sonny Rollins to grooving alongside Johnny Griffin, you've proven that jazz greatness runs deep in the family genes.Whether you're hitting those high notes or keeping it smooth on stage, you’ve given us timeless tunes filled with soul and swing. Today we're celebrating not just another year older—but another year cooler than ever before. Keep blowing strong, Nat; after all these years, your groove still makes everyone else look flat!
