Oh yeah, Arlene. They were in that stratosphere of postwar niche brilliance. In my receptors, there's no reason they and their peers shouldn't have defined popular music.

Jon Hendricks is still alive, age 95. I hope he's doing reasonably well. Annie Ross and Sonny Rollins turned 86 this year. They are treasures indeed, people who really made a difference, my heroes. Thank you so much!

Rest in peace, Jon Hendricks and thank you for all the fantastic singing.

...'til your comment today (12/5/18), I did not know he died. He had a good run (96 years). I got to see him perform as a quartet with Janis Siegel (Manhattan Transfer), Dianne Reeves and Bobby McFerrin (later Tim Hauser, Manhattan Transfer joined them for an encore). Incredible concert ("Jazz Summit" at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco).

@@ohd00bley Sounds wonderful. I got to see Jon and Annie perform a few times, as well as Jon with his wife Judith and daughters. It was such a treat to see him every time, even into his eighties. There will never be anyone like Jon.

Jon was a dear friend, and I was honoured to have him perform for a week in my club in Portugal 1972, with his wife Judith. What a week that was!

saw them at the Monterey Jazz Festival with the Count and Joe Williams....can't be beat

Probably one of the most amazing jazz performances of all time.

These folks were the BEST, what an awesome vocal group.

An eight minute outpouring of amazing melodic and rhythmic ideas by Lambert and Hendricks all the while swinging like motherFs. I've watched this dozens of times and it's always an incredible musical experience.

I liked how the camera occasionally focused on the audience when Lambert and Hendricks were scatting, and you could just picture the big question mark above their heads. This video is priceless. As a vocalist, this is something that I can aspire to!

The last sentence above is something that so few adults would dare to say. THANK YOU for spittin' truth, Sibbl[ebe]ing!ñ!!

I'm coming to appreciate Dave Lambert more and more! What a guy!

This is the stuff that was played on my dad's self-built Heathkit stereo. Big speakers in a big case. Back in 196o, there was only a couple FM stations and they came on after sundown and they played jazz. RIP Ms. Ross and thank you.

Jon and Dave do a brilliant chase on Airegin, singing long sustained solos unlike the brief tracks on the albums. Jon was a renowned scat singer (and lyricist), but Dave was no slouch and holds his own in his solo and trading fours at a furious tempo.

Lambert Hendricks and Ross - The BEST!

I used to see L H & R every time they came to Toronto in the 50's and early 60's. My Buddy and I would get to the now defunct Town Tavern early Sat afternoons, catch the matinee and stay until their evening sets. They were absolutely magnificent. One afternoon after the matinee we had drinks with Dave and Annie at their hotel, great people and great company. Those days are gone and we will never see another group to compare to them.

totallly freakin awesome....

Holy friggin' Christ. Knocked me right outta my biker boots.

Jon was in great form that evening- Wow!! These guys were just something else! Its a shame there doesn't seem to be that much talent any more .The improvisation is just spectacular !

Absolute, utter, jaw dropping perfection. We still are not worthy.

This really made My day today. Don't know what else to say. I'm just mad I never got to see them live. The BEST JAZZ VOCAL GROUP OF ALL TIME!!!

fantastic scatting at its best

Wow WOW WOW! OMG John Hendrix is beyond BAD-ASS! If this doesn't put a smile on your face i don't know what will!

Super !!!!Super group in vocal jazz!!!

Thanks for posting. It is great to hear them just scatting rather than doing the more well-known vocalese.

I come back to this every so often because~~~~pick any ABSOLUTE POSITIVE reference.

Un-f--King-REAL! Only Dave Lambert could follow an incredible solo like Jon Hendricks delivered. Man oh man I wish I could have seen the three of them together live - but Lambert was gone way too soon. I'n lucky to own his solo lp - probably the rarest vinyl in my entire collection.

Jon Hendricks ... so badass!

I think the talent is out there that would keep this genre alive. I hope someone attempts it. It's a lost art, right now, except for these INCREDIBLE recordings!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

There is scat and there is scat!

These guys were the best ever!!

MY BRAIN JUST EXPLODED!!!! and yet i still have the capacity to give my graditude!!!

This video continues to inspire me! I hear something new every time I listen. Amazing!

My favorite clip of theirs. Amazing improv on the song! These three were giants...

Yeah, reading the other comments, Indeed this does make one want to live just to hear one more note, one more phrase, one more innovation. The best gift a person can give to another!

RIP Jon. RIP David. Magnificent. Absolutely sublime.

THANK YOU for this share!!! Just letting it rip!!

Saw them at Philadelphia’s great jazz club The Showboat. One of jazz’ most unique groups.

Yes! They were GIANTS!!!

Marvelous.

Awesome. A real jukebox hit! Thx a load........can't stop listening.

I hope Sonny has seen this. It would make him smile. I sure did. Thank you.

Mille grazie. A warm and heartfelt thx for the upld.

simply amazing!!!

Вокальный бибоп. Супер! Высочайшее качество инструментального вокала!

I love how they are pushing each other. You can see it right around the 7 minute mark where he interupts sonny's solo a little bit and sonny gives him a glare. Lambert just looks back at him like lets go and they just push each other back and fourth making each other better. its really cool to see

❤❤❤❤ I had the opportunity to be with Annie when she took her last breath. I will always love her one Jazzy chick.

Phenomenal

They are the best!!!

I’ve just heard greatness

This is unbelievable. They are swinging, grooving, creative, and so "on the changes". Listen to some of those high notes that Annie Ross goes after in the middle of a phrase. How do you describe this to someone who doesn't understand? How sad that there are people who hear this and can't fathom what's happening. This is Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt doing The Eternal Triangle. This is 2 home run hitters at the all star game battling for the home run derby title. This is the Nicholas Brothers dancing up a storm, each one out dancing the other. This is.........fantastic.

amazing!

!!!!!!!.....amazing!!

superb!!!

Amazing!

Some people may not understand scat singing but it can be just as difficult as improvising on an instrument, it sometimes turns out better and sometimes not so good. Practice is pretty important and knowledge about the tune and your own voice limits. Sadly, these three are gone now but they left us with something memorable.

Wow! YES! What scatting...Brilliant. :)

@TheKathode This performance is taken from Newport Jazz Festival July 2, 1960. The whole set is smokin!

Probably the best jazz vocal group of all time..Double Six Of Paris a close 2nd ... May they all RIP.

That is delightful!

Lambert, Hendricks and Ross personify the Beat Generation

Perfect

I DO! I saw the several times at The Hungry Eye when my former love, Buckwheat aka David Wheat, played bass in the hous bsnd.

Scathing, scatological scatomology at it's volcanic vocalese best!!! I can't even think that fast...not alone vocalize:-D
