I had the feeling there was another one. It's a bit better than 'Round about 1 AM' (but not a lot). Diz sang quite a bit and shouldn't count for this but, on 'Swing low, sweet Cadillac', James Moody joins in the vocalising. I've got it in mind that James sang on another album I've got (not Eddie Jefferson who usually did the vocals on his albums). Can't think of which one it was at present. Grady Tate sang quite a bit but nowhere nearly as much as he played drums. And Kenny Burrell seems to have made a few albums on which he sang, most uninterestingly, in recent years.

Gheorghe Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Erroll Garner sang "I See You In My Dreams". Dexter Gordon sang "Jelly Jelly Jelly".

MG James Moody famously sang "Benny's From Heaven". I think there is a version of it on his Telarc CD called Moody's Party. Even knowing the bit ahead of time, it was hilarious hearing him perform it in person. I think he also sang on his Mancini CD, perhaps "I Love You and Don't You Forget It".

Ken Dryden Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 To my knowledge he never recorded a vocal on record, though I have an answering machine recording of Dave Brubeck singing a message to us. My wife's greeting was a sung message and Brubeck sang his reply. He was on the road and had forgotten the phone number of a lady who worked with him in editing his choral music, she was also a friend of ours.

I’d love to hear this (especially if you can include your wife’s sung greeting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
