The brief life span of classic jazz vocalese singing found its first
inspiration in these King Pleasure sides. Pleasure vocalized many bebop
solos by the likes of James Moody, Charlie Parker, and Lester Young,
often adding his own hip and witty lyrics to the mix. Initially issued
on his debut, Moody's Mood for Love, the first eight sides here include
solid senders like "Parker's Mood," "Red Top" (based on a Gene Ammons
solo and featuring singer Betty Carter), and "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid"
(Lester Young). Balancing out the boppish fare, Pleasure also delivers
ballads like "This Is Always" (featuring the Dave Lambert Singers) and
his own composition, "Don't Be Scared" (up-and-coming vocalese star Jon
Hendriks guests). Future Hendriks cohort Annie Ross co-headlines this
LP, matching Pleasure's best with hits like "Twisted" (Wardell Gray) and
"Farmer's Market" (Art Farmer). Her wordless scat feature, "Annie's
Lament," is a highlight as well. A must for bop and vocal jazz fans. Stephen Cook
