Lambert, Hendricks & Ross were an American vocalese trio formed by jazz vocalists Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross. The group formed in 1957. “Lambert, Hendricks & Ross Sing Ellington”, released in late 1960, finds Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross exploring and recreating 11 songs associated with Duke Ellington. Accompanied by pianist Gildo Mahones, bassist Ike Isaacs and drummer Jimmy Wormworth, the singers are in prime form on such numbers as “Cottontail”, “What Am I Here For?”, “Caravan” and “In a Mellow Tone”. As with all of their records, their treatment of these songs is unique, fresh and enjoyable.

Although Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross started out their career singing vocalese versions of Basie tunes, they do a pretty darn great job here with Ellington – in fact, maybe even better, given the sophistication of the tracks. And while the album lacks some of the whimsy of the wonderful Flying High record cut around the same time, it still also features work by the Ike Isaacs trio, who keep things in the same soulful groove.
