Welcome! Things Are Getter Better peaked at #2 on the Jazz Week Album Charts!    Hi, my name is Luther Hughes and I'm the leader of the Cannonball-Coltrane Project. Initially formed as an homage to the 1959 Cannonball Adderley-John Coltrane landmark album, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago, our group continues to pay tribute to these jazz giants with arrangements and original compositions related to or inspired by Cannonball and/or Coltrane. Our latest release, Things Are Getting Better, began at #46 in the Jazz Week jazz album charts, immediately rose to #14, and peaked at #2!

As you know there are 2 kinds of music, it's either good or bad..."Things Are Getting Better" is not only good it also swings, the true bottom line!

- Don Gordon Jazz Director and Host KIPO - Hawaii

If Cannonball had heard this CD, I think he would have chuckled and said, "Very hip!"

- Roy McCurdy, Cannonball's drummer for 11 years

Dazzlingly brilliant!

- James Moody, saxophonist

A worthy and honest tribute. I like it!

- Horace Silver, pianist and composer

All the players on this recording are top quality; they understand the music and perform it beautifuly. If Cannonball and Trane were here I'm sure they would have given it two thumbs up.
