| Artist Biography: |
Pictured above are two of the jazz world“s great male vocalists. Tenor saxophonist ³Big Nick² Nicholas developed his celebrated stentorian vocal style during a series of Harlem jam sessions in 1950-51 at the Paradise Club. Louis ³Pops² Armstrong, virtuoso trumpeter and improvisational innovator, popularized ³scat² singing with his 1927 recording of ³Heebie Jeebies,² a showcase for his trademark gravelly voice. While there are no existent recordings of Big Nick and Pops performing together, both musicians established a strong legacy individually. Nicholas has remained active and popular to this day, while Armstrong endures as the most influential musician in jazz history, the man who brought the soloist into the spotlight. |
