Many thanks, S_A - I'd entirely forgotten that Charles Lloyd once worked with Cannonball Adderley and here they are:

The "story" is that when Cannon cut the "Fiddler on the Roof" album of tunes from the musical, he warned/said to Lloyd, "Now just keep it straight". The result was that CL went into his sub Coltrane mode on the first tune. Adderley apparently exploded and said "if I'd wanted that ***", I could of played it myself!" Charles Lloyd crestfallen, Adderley, "and another thing, after this date you're out!". So the last thing they cut was an impromptu, "So long Charlie".

Many thanks, BN - Pity that 'Fiddler on the Roof' album is currently so hard to find but here's 'Goodbye, Charlie':

The unconfirmed news from the Organissimo site is that Freddie Redd has died. Some fine Blue note albums in particular with Jackie McLean, most famously "The Connection" music. Here's a trailer, with Freddie and a very thin Jackie! I've got the complete film on a DVD at last and "it's of its time" but well worth it for the musicians if not always the drug dialogue...RIP Freddie Redd.

Very sad news.
Will have to dig out 'The Connection' on DVD which I have somewhere.
Here's Freddie Redd with Jesse Davis(b. 1965):
