0:10

today's show with Lambert,

0:12

Hendrix and Ross, the great

0:14

trio of vocalists that introduced

0:16

us to the style of

0:19

vocalese using bebop standards

0:21

and solos and transcribing them

0:24

and adding lyrics to come

0:26

up with a really unique

0:28

sound. I think you could

0:31

say it may even be the precursor to

0:33

rap music. We're going to begin with

0:36

a track from an album entitled
