King Pleasure Sings, Annie Ross Sings (CD: Prestige- US Import)King Pleasure Sings, Annie Ross Sings (CD: Prestige- US Import)
These are the seminal sessions in vocalese which spawned a whole host of singers--including Manhattan Transfer--working in this style today. Taking Eddie Jefferson's lead, King Pleasure developed his own style and material in the idiom. Noteworthy is the participation of Jon Hendricks as singer and co-lyricist on "Don't Get Scared," Pleasure's version of a Swedish recording by Stan Getz.

Following in the wake of Jefferson and Pleasure was Annie Ross, later to team up with Hendricks and Dave Lambert. She does for Wardell Gray what Jefferson and Pleasure had done for James Moody and Lester Young. This includes the original recording of "Twisted" as well as Pleasure evergreens "Parker's Mood" and "Red Top."

With the addition of "I'm in the Mood for Love" (formerly titled "Moody's Mood for Love," Pleasure's biggest hit) and three other bonus tracks, this Compact Disc now contains virtually everything King Pleasure recorded for Prestige. (Fantasy, Inc.)

Babs Gonzales: Real Crazy (CD: Proper)Babs Gonzales: Real Crazy (CD: Proper)
Babs Gonzales was a singer who did what he could to popularize bop. He had stints with Charlie Barnet and Lionel Hampton's big bands, and then led his own group (Three Bips & a Bop) during 1946-1949. They recorded during 1947-1949, including the earliest version of "Oop-Pop-A-Da" and such songs as "Weird Lullaby," "Real Crazy," "Professor Bop," and "Prelude to a Nightmare"; among his sidemen on these dates were Tadd Dameron, Tony Scott, Roy Haynes, James Moody, J.J. Johnson, Julius Watkins, Sonny Rollins (making his recording debut), Art Pepper, Wynton Kelly, and even Don Redman. Gonzales later became more of a cult figure but this Proper Introduction gives you a real flavour of his Pop Bop. (proper Records)
