"As this eclectic, funny and very talented group once again gets noticed, it is time to reissue TWISTED! Caravan, In A Mellow Tone, Doodlin' et al. These songs are unique, one of a kind, fun, get-up- 'n-dance pieces. BUT they are also listening pieces. Listen to those rhythms and clever deliveries. Classic, classic jazz. Unforgettable! Please reissue!"

"This is where the jazz lover should begin his education - with Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. Just as I did with the love and patience of a true jazz-loving uncle did some 24 years ago. This group combines the incredible vocals that gave them the title of "human jazz" with the rhthym, class and unforgetable harmony of the trio that should ever go down in history as "human jazz group that could!" The English Annie Ross brought incredible heights to smooth human vocal combined with the unmeansruable talent of American David Lambert and Bluesy Jon Hendricks. This trio brought incredible style and created classics in such songs as Bijou, Twisted, Cloudburst, In A Mellow Tone and Doodlin' and the very fun Main Street. A listener can't help but be taken away by the variety of melodius voices, varying voice tones and songs which catapult you into the drama behind their songs. They tell stories, give feelings, theatre and drama to melodies like no other group has evenr been able to accomplish with or without instruments. Lambert, Hendricks and Ross does it all with the fabulous trio of voices, harmony and timing. Sadly, Lambert and Hendricks are gone but Ross's voice sings loudly and keeps the memory of true human voice aloud thanks to a CD like this."

"Um, John Hendricks isn't dead. He's very much alive, and tonight (2/19/99) I saw him perform with Annie Ross at the Jazz Bakery in Culver City, California. Superb! Classy! Classic! These people ARE classics, so by all means buy the CD, but miss no opportunity to see them perform live!"
Then we met and you can bet / I knew from the first/ You wer

"Turn on the way- back machine. I first heard this group in the sixties.They sang like musical instruments.Their way of singing harmonizing playing against each other had a lightness and verve. I liked their music very much, and one of their songs 'Cloudburst' has stayed in my mind all these years.
