Hadley Caliman

Hadley Caliman with the Freddie Hubbard Quintet at the Pori Jazz Festival, Finland, 1978.

Hadley Caliman (January 12, 1932 in Idabel Oklahoma – September 8, 2010[1]) was an American bebop saxophone and flute player.

After studying at Jefferson High School (Los Angeles) (the same school of fellow saxophonist Dexter Gordon[2]) with trumpeter Art Farmer, Caliman performed or recorded with Carlos Santana,[2] Joe Henderson, Earl Hines, Freddie Hubbard,[3] Jon Hendricks,[1] Earl Anderza,[4] Patrice Rushen[5] and several other jazz notables.

In the late 1960s, he was briefly a member of a jazz-rock fusion group led by Ray Draper. He recorded his first solo album in 1971.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Caliman was active leading a quartet and quintet in the Seattle area, served on the music faculty at Cornish College of the Arts, and taught private lessons to area musicians.[6] He died of liver cancer in September 2010, at the age of 78.[7]
