Scene Ecology: He became a bridge between Miles Davis-level modern jazz and soul-jazz audiences who wanted the music sharp but still connected to the room. Media Narrative: “Cannonball” started as a childhood nickname from “cannibal,” a joke about his appetite that became one of jazz’s most memorable stage identities. 5/13/26 LM
