Cannonball Adderley

Nothing on the page Cannonball Adderley supports the claim that Adderley was ever in the army, let alone at Fort Huachuca. Earendur (talk) 21:14, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Earendur - per our accepted practice, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Ergo, the article Cannonball Adderley is not a reliable source for biographical information on Cannonball Adderly. Reliable sources confirm that Cannonball Adderly was in the 36th Army Band (see here [1] in JazzTimes, here [2] on BlackPast.org, etc., etc.). You should feel free to update the Cannonball Adderley article appropriately. The power is yours! Chetsford (talk) 23:18, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
