He then went on to join Cannonball Adderleys Quintet recording at least six albums with Cannonball.Further collaberations with Zappa and Billy Cobham came his first venture into the charts with "Reach for It" and "Dukey Stick".Reverting back to his jazz roots his "Brazilian Love Affair" album even impressed his jazz critics after many accused him of selling out to pop.
