Annie Ross

A founding member of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross – considered the greatest jazz vocal ensemble of all time – Annie Ross has been an abundant contributor to the art of jazz for over 50 years. Her influence is present in all subsequent practitioners of vocalese and her song “Twisted” has been recorded by a host of vocalists, including some not normally associated with jazz, such as Joni Mitchell and Bette Midler. Ross toured in the 50s with the extraordinary Lionel Hampton band, and has recorded with James Moody, Kenny Clarke, Milt Jackson, Harry Sweets Edison, The Count Basie Band, Louis Armstrong, Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Chet Baker and many more.
