1928-1975. From Tampa, real name Julian; nickname came from his rotund physique or from "Cannibal", which also explained his physique. Hit New York City in the mid 50's, sounding like a reincarnation of Bird; it led to his inclusion in Miles Davis' quintet. "Threw it all away" to become a soul jazz star in the 60's, never sacrificing the jazz content; he had hits, thanks to great tunes by his brother Nat, Bobby Timmons, and Joe Zawinul. A great teacher and leader.
