Irgendwo hab ich noch mehr dazu gelesen, aber in Keepnews‘ neuen Liner Notes zu Clark Terrys „Serenade to a Bus Seat“ (datiert auf April 2007) schreibt er (bezugnehmend auf Terrys erste Riverside Session, die für Monks „Brilliant Corners“ stattfand, und an der er, OK, Terry zum ersten Mal traf):
Just to sketch a few links in that chain, you might begin by noting the evening, not long after this, when Clark called out to me from in front of a Greenwich Village night club, and when I crossed the street to join him, singled out two men next to him by saying: „I’d like you to meet my friends, the Adderley brothers!“ During the next half-dozen years, Cannonball Adderley would become by far Riverside’s biggest-selling artist, and also a notably acute talent scout – the story of how he left me no alternavtive but to sign Wes Montgomery has been told more than once or twice.
