Wabash is an instrumental jazz composition by the American saxophonist Cannonball Adderley (1928-1975), who is its sole credited writer. The piece has no lyrics and is played instrumentally throughout. It is a medium-tempo, swinging hard bop piece in the swing style and belongs to the jazz repertoire, and later jazz musicians have recorded it.
The original recording was made by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago on 3 February 1959. The session featured John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. It was first released on the Mercury album Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago (1959), which contains this performance.
