Lambert, Hendricks
and Ross - Certainly one of the premier jazz vocal acts of all time,
Lambert, Hendricks & Ross revolutionized vocal music during the late '50s
and early '60s by turning away from the increasingly crossover slant of the
pop world to embrace the sheer musicianship inherent in vocal jazz. Applying
the concepts of bop harmonies to swinging vocal music, the trio transformed
dozens of instrumental jazz classics into their own songs, taking scat solos
and trading off licks and riffs in precisely the same fashion of their
favorite improvising musicians.
