Said to be an inspiration and idol to Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby helped revolutionize the music industry in the early and mid 1900s with his "big band" orchestra and phenominal baratone voice.
Italian-American, New Jersey born singer, actor, and producer Frank Sinatra's idolized Bing Crosby, and eventually surpassedhim both in popularity and stardom.
Beyond the dreamy, airy jazz orchestra of the 1940's and 50's resides a more modern depiction of vocal jazz with Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. Michael Buble sings a fantastic rendition of Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me" bringing a little piece of vintage music history into the modern music age.
Lastly, aside from the cameo and judging of American Idol, Harry Connick Jr. was a child prodigy starting at the age of three-years-old when he started learning the keyboard. He has been performing publicly since the age of five and officially started recording at the age of ten years old. Also remniscent of vocal jazz and orchestric ensembles, Harry Connick Jr. has proven that not just innate talent is required in the industry, but also hard work, time, and dedication.
Well, it being December 4, 2016, here's a link to Harry Connick Jr. performing "Jingle Bells" Take a gander at a few of these links, artists, and please share YOUR favorite vocal jazz performers.
