Late to the show, but I just discovered the jazz vocals of Bobby Troup.

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

For a buck at a thrift store in Las Vegas, I picked up a 10 inch 1955 Bethlehem recording "The Songs of Bobby Troup." I usually do not like male jazz vocals except Chet Baker, but this Bobby Troup really appeals to me. It is very close to Chet Baker in style.

I see from archival posts that Troup was married to another great jazz singer, Julie London. That makes the record sound even better.

That's why I stated "appeals to me." I did forget about Mose Allison though. - alaskahiatt 16:31:11 01/07/17 (0)
