Sweep Jazz Jockey Poll

The favorite music of the nation's top jazz jockeys is modern all the way, both instrumentally and vocally, according to their votes in The Billboard's "Favorite Jazz Artists" poll this year, On the instrumental side, Miles Davis, one of the giants of the modern scene, landed in the No. I spot by a healthy margin, followed by Paul Desmond in second place, and with a three-way tie for third place between Erroll Garner, Ahmad Jamal and Julian (Cannonball) Addcrly.

This year as last year. the Favorite Jazz OK of the deejays was the Count Basic crew, with Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton, in second and third place. respectively. The closest voting of all departments was in the Favorite razz Instrumental Group, where the MJQ nosed out the Dave Brubeck Quartet for the No. 1 spot, with the Miles Mavis Quintet close behind in third place.

Frank Sinatra, after losing to Joe Williams in the 1959 poll.'came back resoundingly this year to top Joc Williams and Mark Murphy for Favorite Male Jazz Singer. For the second straight year Ella Fitzgerald rolled up a very substantial lead to win the title of Favorite Female Jazz Singer, June Christy and Anita O'Day followed in No, 2 and 3 order.

The biggest vote of all in the poll was racked up by the exciting Lambert -Hendricks -Ross Trio. who in less than two years have had a meteoric rise in the world of Ian. Last year the Lambert -Hendricks -Ross group finished In third place in The Billboard jazz jockey poll. In second Place behind the L -H -R Trio this year were The Hi-Lo's, and in third place The Four Freshmen, last year's winning "Oca group,

Most Promising: Henderson, Montgomery, Evans, A. Ross

Two Riverside artists, pianist Bill Evans and guitarist Wes Montgomery, won The Billboard's 1960 "Most Promising" Jazz Instrumentalist Poll. as chosen by jazz a.&r. men (limited to diskerics that release only jazz records or a substantial quantity of jazz records every month) and the country's top jazz critics.

On the vocal. side, Bill Henderson, of Vccjay Records. and Annie Ross, of Columbia Records, won the "Most Promising" Jazz Singer's Poll. Bill Evans polled three times as many votes as his nearest competitor. pianist Ray Bryant. (Bryant, in addition to his growing recognition in the jazz field, recently had a pop hit going for him with his waxing of "Madison Time.")

Wes Montgomery won out for his guitar work over the highly pub- licized Ornctte Coleman on alto and John Coltrane on tenor, both of Atlantic, who tied for second place.

Bill Henderson easily outpaced Jon Hendricks among the vocalists, altho Hendricks has had only a few LP's released featuring him as a s'nglc, since most of his warbling these days is as a member of the Lambert -Hend- ricks -Ross vocal group., Annie Ross. another member of the Lambert Hendricks -Ross Trio, came in first as a soloist in the "most promising" fern singer poll, due to her many solo outings on Contemporary Records. Ernestine Anderson, Mercury Records' jazz thrush, was a close second.

VARIETY 1hhough she's been away from the album scene for some time, Fran µ arren still has plenty on the vocal ball. Not only does she know how to get the most out of lyric salves, but she also knows how to use arrangements to bring color and life to a songbag. Of course, the composers she's chosen to work with (Leon- ard Bernstein,. Vernon Duke, George Gerahwin, David Rose,. Arthur Schwartz and Alec Wilder) are points in her (a, or, but she g.ts am added fillip from the fresh and Interesting arrangements supplied by ,Rliilpht Burns and Alt Cohn_ it's all done with taste, p.cc and punch and should develop Into a good programming and seltiiig item.

CASH. BOX The legit songstress takes hold of su perior songs and tosses them off with professional poise. Ralph Burrs and Al Cohn's jazztinbed arrangements arc in complete accord with Miss Warren's vocal ideas. making for a perfect disk marriage. Witness the effectiveness "What Is There To Say," "Lonely Town." "Soon" and "For You. For Mc. For Evermore." Class package.

THE BILLBOARD * * ** - VERY' S7ROl"1G SALES POTENTIAL Miss V. rrren, an old hand al a ballad, shows she still has that feeling in this group of excellent choice., of tunes by Bernstein, Gershuin, Vernon Duke, David Rose, Arthur Schwartz and Alec Wilder. The superior arrangements. which are big bat do not clutter things up, are by Ralph Burns and Al Cohn. A nice blend of artist, instruments bon and repertoire.

MUSIC REPORTER Here is pop at Its topmost perfection. To make doubly sure of having tried and sure material, they took twelve songs by America's foremost melody creators and set those superlative arrangers-Ralph Bunts and Al Colin, - to fitting the cadences to the supreme artistrp of Fran Warren's voice and handling. Warwick's prosy. Marty Craft, was an exacting Judge of the proceedings and the result is a musical pot of gold for listener programmer and dealer.

MUSIC VENDER Songstress Fran Warren warble* a tuneful twelve cuts on this outing. including two songs each by six of America's greatest composers' I eonard Bernstein. Vernon Du c.

George Gershwin. David Rose, Arthur Schwartz and Alec Wilder. Fran does an, outstanding job on selections like "What Is There To Say?," "For You, For Me, For Evermore" and "1 Like The Likcs Of You." The Kul should do something big A la, odes with this LP.
