Dave Lambert

Dave Lambert was a hugely influential vocalist in the jazz world, known for his innovative and complex vocal arrangements. He first gained recognition with Gene Krupa's orchestra and later formed the popular vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks & Ross with Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross. Their intricate harmonies and scat singing, often mimicking instrumental parts, set a new standard for vocal jazz. Though his career was tragically cut short by a car accident in 1966, Lambert's impact on vocal jazz remains significant, inspiring generations of singers and arrangers.

Beyond Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Dave also released solo albums and collaborated with other artists. He was a passionate experimenter, constantly pushing the boundaries of vocal jazz. Albums like "The Swingers!" and "Sing a Song of Basie" showcase his unique approach to arranging and his dedication to exploring the possibilities of the human voice as an instrument.
