Cannonball!

I didn't know Cannonball Adderley was from Florida. (Not a jazz-head? Well, look for the name of the alto sax player on the liner notes to Kind of Blue. Of course you own a copy.) Thanks to Interstate4jamming for pointing out this fine Lakeland Ledger feature on the Adderly brothers.

I'm sure you're aware the late great bass player Jaco Pastorius was from Oakland Park. I recently found out he went to Northeast High School (which is right up the street from me) and was killed outside what's now Corner Pocket Billiards in Wilton Manors.

Lots of famous musicians are from North Florida - Michael Fitzgerald, a musician from Jacksonville has compiled a long list
