Jon Hendricks & Company live at at the North Sea Jazz Festival • 1982 • World of Jazz
Jon Hendricks, the originator of ‘vocalese’ which adds lyrics to existing instrumental songs, was performing with his group Company in which he was sharing the vocal duties with wife Judith Hendricks, his daughter Michele Hendricks, and Bob Gurland.
Jon Hendricks is the most swinging bebop singer known in jazz history.

‘Caravan’ (Duke Ellington )
