  • Um, Jon Hendricks didn't write these lyrics. In 1958 Sarah Vaughan and the Count Basie Orchestra recorded a version of this song, with these lyrics, and the group has pretty much lifted her interpretation, even down to Cheryl's solo.

  • Hi Incrediblemelk, you're right! Sarah recorded this one w/ the Basie Orchestra in the 'No Count Sarah' LP but it was dated december 1958. Early in that year (exactly on August 1) Jon Hendricks recorded it with his trio (Lambert, Hendricks & Ross) and it was released as a single with 'The Spirit-Feel' vocal cover of the Milt Jackson original.

    They were singing these song with Nat Pierce (piano), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Addison Farmer (bass) and Osie Johnson (drums). Vocal arrangement by Lambert

  • Having cut my teeth on Lambert, Hendricks & Ross- one can't help but compare- which is unfair- but there it is ( L H and R are uncomparable ) But this was enjoyable

  • I think the same, LH&R were the one and only one. But really love the Transfers and their love on vocalese.

  • Actually, this was written by Horace Silver. Not the lyrics, but the song (1955 Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers).

  • They were much better at Java Jazz in my opinion

  • i don't think their balance is very tight in this version

  • This is another version of vocalese that I found that sounds a little more true to what was invented. The group actually does the vocalese technique together vesus one person or soloist which I thought was cool.

  • Great craftsmanship. Didn't like the sound of the piano, though (the instrument, I mean).
