being bold[edit]

I would like to add the following reference to the end of the article on vocalese:

In a different genre, the British comic song duo, Flanders and Swan set lyrics to the rondo finale of Mozart's Horn Concerto in E flat major, K. 495. in their 1963 recording At the Drop of Another Hat.

However, given the often violent reactions that I have seen on Wikipedia for far lesser crimes, will only do so if someone equally bold seconds my motion. I have noticed that jazz purists tend to go for the jugular rather than accept a compromise and some would probably have difficulty accepting even vocalese as a form of jazz.

I "was bold" on your behalf back in the 13th of January 2010 and added a similar remark (accidentally without logging in). It was deleted by jazz-janny Vmavanti for being "unsourced, untouched for ten years, and pointless". I do not accept these remarks as valid criticism, but I have no inclination to engage in internet arguments with someone like that, as I have far better things to do with my time.

Elder vocalese-style recording[edit]

Scott Yanow writes in an article in www.allmusic.com that in "Tram! Vol. 1" (1929), which I never heard, Frank Trumbauer had already used (invented?) a form of vocalese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.20.179.183 (talk) 06:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
