[78-L] Pop and Jazz Singers

[eugene hayhoe]

Saw Dillard play when he was in the pit band for Anthony Davis' Malcolm X opera, which came through East Lansing back in the mid-1980s - surprised the hell out of me when I saw the program; he didn't sing then that I can recall.
 
Only Teddy Hill records I've heard are a couple on Diz reissue lps.

Maybe not a great voice,  but a very effective singer anyway.

Now here's a trumpeter who could play AND  had a wonderful singing voice: 
Bill Dillard,  on a number of Teddy Hill Bluebirds.

Taylor
