Cyril Posted February 13, 2015 Report Posted February 13, 2015 Major Holley was singing along with his bass solos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehr_dc4bL5c Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2015 Report Posted February 13, 2015 True, and did we mention Jimmy Woode? Alan Silva of course did a lot of vocalizing (influenced by Carnatic music, among other things) but I'm not sure that fits within the OP's interest. Quote

king ubu Posted February 13, 2015 Report Posted February 13, 2015 Lester Young, only once on record (I think) but he did sing on gigs, or so I've read. And he played at the same time? Quote

johnblitweiler Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Don't miss "Hey Mr. Mumbles" by Clark Terry and Red Mitchell, with Red singing his bass lines as he plucks. It's on their Enja duet LP. Quote
