Annie Ross - Twisted (1959)

Back


Actress and singer Annie Ross set some hipster jive to a Wardell Grey sax solo and Twisted became a jazz classic. Along with fellow singers Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks (who sit this one out) the trio Lambert Hendricks and Ross recorded a number of hit albums in the early 60s and is generally regarded as the greatest Jazz vocal group of all time.

Okay, I have to add more. Did you see how Cap'n Bill absolutely had to have one more chorus before turning it back to Ms. Ross?

They worked it out.

I'm pretty sure that was Playboy After Dark. Hugh Hefner's late night show in the 60's.
