"Hipness is not a state of mind but a fact of life"
He used to say
A big man with a big alto sound
Folks affectionately called him Cannonball
"A teacher, historian, a jazz griot" someone wrote
Cannon could blow a sermon with every note
Departed at the young age of forty-three plus three
But not without leaving us a rich jazz legacy
