Jon Hendricks 100 -- September 16, 2021

Jon Hendricks, one of the pioneers of vocalese was born 100 years ago today, on 16-September-1921.  He was a veteran of the D-Day landings in World War II. 

I like Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.  I never got to see his show, Evolution of the Blues, while it played at Keystone Korner for five years.
