Jimmy Scott [1960] - If I Ever Lost You​

James Victor Scott (July 17, 1925 – June 12, 2014) was an American jazz vocalist known for his high natural contralto voice and his sensitivity on ballads and love songs. His unusual singing voice was due to Kallmann syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that limited his height to 4 feet 11 inches until the age of 37, when he grew another 8 inches. The syndrome prevented him from reaching classic puberty and left him with a high voice and unusual timbre.​

Some absolutely wonderful early 70s Japanese big band jazz



Equally inspired by British progressive rock as it is inspired by movie soundtrack music like Henry Mancini. But still very much jazz! Awesome hidden gem that I only recently discovered but have played a lot since, hope you guys enjoy.
