This is a THREAD on vocalist #JonHendricks, who passed away at the age of 96 yesterday. Although a name not as recognizable as Ella or Torme, many folks age 40 or over may have long ago had a brush with one of his master works.
So...what was so revolutionary about #jonhendricks's contributions to Music ? There were already established 'scat' singers in Jazz at the time.
