Lambert Hendricks And Ross Bio
Lambert, Hendricks & Ross was a vocalese trio formed by jazz vocalists Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross.
The group formed in 1957 and recorded their first album Sing a Song of Basie for Paramount Records. The album featured versions of Count Basie standards and was successful enough that the Count Basie Orchestra collaborated with them on Sing Along With Basie (1959), which was awarded a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998.
Beginning in 1959, the trio recorded three LPs with Columbia Records. Their song "Twisted," featuring Ross's lyrics set to a Wardell Gray melody, was featured in Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry (1997) and has been covered by Joni Mitchell, Bette Midler and others. Their High Flying won a Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Vocal Group in 1962. Lambert, Hendricks & Ross were voted Best Vocal Group in the Down Beat Readers Poll from 1959 to 1963.
