Jack Jones - Vocal Range (B1-G5)

A wonderful tenor who has recorded genres from traditional pop to jazz, to rock-and-roll and swing, sometimes delving into R&B-esque style as well. He has also released a disco album. He still performs till this day in his 80s, releasing an album this year.

Jack Jones possessed the best voice of any male pop singer of his era. He had superb breath control throughout his career and, as a live performer, a remarkable ability to move up and down the scale at the spur of the moment, similar to what Ella Fitzgerald was able to do. His 1976 concert in Edmonton Canada which is on youtube shows him at the height of his vocal powers (age 38). His 1970 live album at the Sands also provides some stunning examples of his vocal power as well as his uncanny use of his vocal instrument.

His low range sounds like a low baritone almost (this isn't likely what he sounds like on a day-to-day basis just on occasion because he's a tenor), but his high range is too comfortable for a baritone at all of course.

[@TheBassFreak]

Nice work!! And a wonderful tenor. never heard of him before. His lowrange is that of a low-baritone, almost!

[@vyeagra420]

he is the first tenor i heard that sounds good below G2,amazing

His lows are so sublime ! Once again you've done amazing work Kaji 👏👏👏

[@tasosGRvocals]

For a Tenor, his lower register is very good!

[@glennmach]

Jack Jones is a still in the Medium to High Baritone Range. He will cross into the Tenor range. When he has to ...and it depends on what song he is singing. This is what makes "Jack Jones" a "Brilliant Singer" and he has a Great vocal 2 octave range as mentioned ... Kind Regards, Marc Jones, Australian Singer-Pop/Jazz/Ballads & Original Songs in Los Angeles, U.S.A. : )

[@KajiVocals]

@@glennmach Voice types are not based on range. He is absolutely a natural tenor in tessitura, passaggi and timbre. I say this as someone who has heard all of his albums and available online concerts and performances. And someone who is deep into vocal pedagogy. He was never a natural baritone, even today. He had low notes but this kinda low is not unheard of from a tenor. Paul McCartney has an even better lower register. Jack also has close to 4 octaves, not 2.

[@bradycall1889]

@@KajiVocals Lows like this are not unheard of at all in tenors, I agree. I've heard tenors with better low ranges.

[@HalyssonAlves]

​@@bradycall1889 Could you name me tenors that have a better bass range? Please, I'm looking to know more about this low region of tenors, rather than just covering the mid-high range of these voices!

[@jacobhuffty7411]

His high notes sound like a less gravely Paul McCartney, especially above a B. Really cool hearing pop singers with solid technique, as you don't get those a lot of those nowadays.

Jack é maravilhoso, é um tenor, mas sua voz é romantica, doce, gostosa e ele é uma figura sedutora, nao se trata só de uma voz ele é um conjunto muito muito bom. Dear Jack👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great video! I can notice a shift at F#4. I would classify him as a big lyric/lirico-spinto tenor voice.

[@gegiocavacci2589]

Both his belts and upper register mix are clearly tenor, not a very low one either imo, in spite of his lows reminding of a pop spinto like Hugh Jackman, Bolton maybe. 15:42 sounds like Johnny Cook, light weight and feminine belt. Interesting "chamaleon" vocalist thank you.

[@KajiVocals]

I wouldn't really call his C5 you timestamped light. Moreso very bright. The first C5 was far lighter.

Grew up on some of his records. Wonderful crooner tenor. Should’ve recorded Moon River.

[@udpert]

Really brilliant compilation, gives a good impression of his output and styles as well as range. Would lean toward calling him a high baritone, but with a range like his, hard to classify. Thanks for this; enjoyed it immensely.

[@KajiVocals]

Thanks for watching. His tessitura (comfort zone) along with timbre/tone lies more towards tenor. He surely has a fairly baritona timbre in the low range and a low-ish speaking voice but it's not unheard of for tenors - Sergio Franchi is another great example. Andy Williams has a more baritonal timbre than Jack too and is commonly referred to (and quite frankly is it too) as a tenor. Most of the lower register Jack got he acquired after years of smoking which he spoke of quite often (I believe he even has a clip of him discussing it on his KZbin channel). While he could 'hit' low notes since the beginning, he didn't really gain comfort or depth down there till the mid to late 1980s.

[@KajiVocals]

You can find all of my research for this video here - therangeplanet.proboards.com/thread/2204/jack-jones There's some albums missing from recent years that I couldn't find online but I don't think they'd be range expanding.

[@unkniwng5135]

@@KajiVocals you should do roger Daltrey of the who, he has a similar timbre to the singer in this vid

[@jamesmmahoney]

@@KajiVocals I would agree (leans more towards tenor), especially early in his career. He received significant professional voice training at the outset of his career which I am sure helped with the use of his voice which is among the best of any pop singer I have heard. Thanks to his quitting smoking at a relatively young age, his voice remained remarkably supple/intact into his early 70s.

[@HalyssonAlves]

​@@KajiVocalsHello, I would like to know if you could mention other tenors that shine in the low register as well, I have been looking for tenors that dominate the low range, in addition to the mid-high range, I would appreciate it in advance.

[@helena51troy]

Not only range, but lovely sensitive interpretations. Many albums and appearances on television variety shows. Skilled Password player, too. Might have to look those up younger people.

[@jjang8725]

His belt actually like Lyrics Tenor. But his lows remind me like a Baritone. As you say like vocally chameleon same with Jazzmine Sullivan (Mezzo/Soprano).Even I'm as a baritone can't reach B1 with chest my lowest stuck in C2. Can't belt above G#4 and sustained above F#4😣. E2-F4-D5 my comfortable range LMAO. I wish I am a Tenor.

[@KajiVocals]

Keep in mind he's in his 70s and 80s in all the notes he ever hit below D2. As for his fach, he's most likely a big voiced tenor who brightened his voice. If you hear him speak you'll hear his more natural timbre. The size of his voice live also points to that. Very big and projected live. In any part of his range.

[@jjang8725]

@@KajiVocalsIm still 18 years old. I wish I can hit note below C2 with chest when I'm already mature.

[@hellosuperrings4892]

@@jjang8725 i use one of my family's account and i would like to say i can hit g1 in my true chest voice and i'm still 14. I believe i'm a baritone since my natural passaggio is kinda b3 (sometimes shift higher or lower but best to say, it's b3). Talking about timbre, i do sound even darker than ed ames sometimes without even lower my larynx. I dont think this is relevant but i also want to say that i sound like a grandpa at his 50/60/70 when i coughing. When you say you can't belt g#4, then how can i belt bb5 an mix c6 as a baritone/tenor. The thing i face when i go that high is shrillness and i start to get shrill with my belts above b4. So any notes i belt above b4 could only be well placement but not grounded enough. I would suggest you to just mix or just 'fake' a belt if you really want to sing above g#4 with your modal range.
