Lambert Hendricks and Ross airegin

[@arlene1934corwin]

I'm listening ad watching over and over with tears in my eyes. It's one of the greatest improvisations ever record - by anyone!

[@melodyappl]

Yes, me too. Tears of Amazement and joy for them existing!

[@tEkNiCaLsTeR]

scat's a lot of emotion gal

[@danlunham4478]

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.

[@timmotion6494]

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!

[@keithdaniel6313]

Jon Hendricks was truly an international treasure. And there will never be another Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.

[@charlywobershalek7142]

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!

[@ernsthaider3288]

So true!

[@MarilynJLeger]

@@charlywobershalek7142 Manhattan Transfer took notes & lessons from Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross. As I write this, (Aug 2020) Annie just died & so many others are now gone. I treasure the recordings I have.

[@RatzoBHarris]

Jon Hendricks ... so badass!

[@richardelliott8352]

I wasn't expecting that. Few singers can scat sing , they just don't have the note selection , since they have only sung with words. It takes a brave man to step to the mike after Hendricks tore it up, but Lambert really held his own and then some until he brought it back around for Hendricks to join. a fabulous slice of jazz history, unique in it's time and forever .

[@genramsey]

My siblings and I were introduced to Lambert, Hendricks & Ross music as children by our parents, who loved ALL TYPES of music. When we heard Cloudburst, that was it... we loved it and them!😊

[@kathycahill1698]

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

[@ohd00bley]

...'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).

[@kathycahill1698]

@@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.

[@elizabethfarrington5018]

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

[@frankfrank7921]

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.

[@buzzgreen1498]

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

[@ginamarie6977]

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!

[@timondocent]

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

[@thegrandmasteryoda]

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

[@wilsonmcphert]

This isn't possible...but there it is...

[@naomicaldwell3422]

wilson mcphert Indeed, amazing!!!!!! ♡

[@lgbet6w58g4]

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.

[@normanhall8435]

This is so mind blowing!! I have seen many of the great jazz artists of the last 50 years, but this blows me away like nothing else. Exquisite musicianship!

[@paulkudish3017]

Ditto

[@ghairraigh]

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.

[@BillWeinman]

+ghairraigh Jon Hendricks, thankfully, is still with us. He is 94 and he's been sick lately, but he still sings in New York!

[@timondocent]

@@BillWeinman What's the most recently track you can find of him soloing?

[@BillWeinman]

@@timondocent of course, he's passed since I wrote that. He would have been 101 now. I have friends in NYC who knew him to the end - I know they did some jamming. Here's a late recording with both Jon & Annie taking solos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHbZYnVraqaXm9E

[@RURALWARROOM]

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

[@WLJonesMusic]

Best scat EVER in the history of the WORLD!!! EPIC.

[@BrewskLitovsk]

Lambert, Hendricks 'n' Ross = Three of a kind. Wonderful! They got rhythm for sure.

[@thomaslombardo3401]

Lambert Hendricks and Ross were the best jazz group ever. Nobody could scat like Jon Hendricks.💛💛💛

[@mjc5509]

Ella??

[@mcpug10]

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.

[@williamb4335]

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!!!

[@MikeBlitzMag]

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

[@gawd314144]

Absolutely a work of art!! Fantastic!!

[@jangunnarolsen5946]

Hipp Hoppers in 2016, LISTEN to These GREAT cats and LEARN!

[@craigallyn]

There's a lot of rhythmic complexity here that rap and hip-hop employ and have taken even further.

[@mari_.silvano]

Scatting revolutionized rapping and RnB after 1 or more decades later

[@goglo614]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

[@jazmaan]

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.

[@SuperSheffer]

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

[@jameshicks8454]

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!

[@orqsilva]

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

[@cabbesmith]

fantastic scatting at its best

[@Gracenotesmusic]

Lambert Hendricks and Ross - The BEST!

[@benjaminsmith2287]

RIP Jon. RIP David. Magnificent. Absolutely sublime.

[@TheBigOnkelDolf]

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

[@mcouming]

totallly freakin awesome....

[@brianm72000]

Still terrific! Thank you very, very much for posting this!

[@papaessilfie3478]

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 !

[@tiffany07103]

The greatest vocalese group ever!!!!!!!!

[@jukeboxamericano6965]

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

[@jimjennings7623]

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!

[@sundiataism]

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

[@andersbreispast1398]

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

[@singwithdre]

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

[@jameshicks8454]

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!

[@moshe-yahofzion]

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

[@normanhall8435]

These guys were the best ever!!

[@singwithdre]

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

[@tomgardner8825]

scat,at it's very best. nigeria

[@Deayjay]

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

[@petercallaway3376]

Vocalese @its pinnacle!!🔊🎤🎹🎹🥁🎻🎸🎼🎷🪕🎺

[@nanotam89]

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

[@TheNursey13]

Now this was talent!!!!!!

[@wingobingo]

didn't understand a dang word!!!! lol dweedle oobly do amazing stuff loooove it!!!

[@johnbaboian781]

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.

[@lawrencekades9340]

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

[@mjc5509]

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

[@bethbartlett5692]

Scat - stat Rap grows up to be - when there's Musical Talent Involved - Every generation leaves their stamp - "some actually have talent"-

[@soulgriot]

simply amazing!!!

[@barttheanorak]

Thanks. I'd heard their stuff before but never really knew what the late Dave Lambert's role in it all was. What a scatter!

[@ghairraigh]

barttheanorak Dave was a terrific vocal arranger, and orchestrated the harmonies for a number of singing groups over the years.

[@barttheanorak]

Thanks for that bit of info :-)

[@camdor]

@mcpug10 -- wow man, we were at the TT whenever L.H.R. were there - and others like Jackie & Roy and all the great departed artists who can never be replaced. We were more often at the bar than a table, to get as close as we could to the action. What a time, man, nothing like it anywhere now, really.

[@arlene1934corwin]

Lots of typos: forgive me! Hope you understand the intensity of my reactions anyway. (see below)

[@jangunnarolsen5946]

Yes! They were GIANTS!!!

[@chipnorthup5354]

[@Highflightalpha1]

Amazing!

[@frepi]

There is scat and there is scat!

[@boayars8327]

All the acolades on the talent of these amazing singers is definitely true. What amazes me, though, is the single Shure (SM) 58 microphone, pointed straight up to catch all three vocalists voices. Anyone else ever try this, possibly with the newer SM Beta 58?

[@bgold1943]

grew up with these guys in UK....what a joy! Vocalese with nods to King Pleasure & Eddie Jefferson!

[@nemo227]

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.
