John Carl Hendricks (September 16, 1921 – November 22, 2017), known professionally as Jon Hendricks, was an American jazz lyricist and singer. He is considered one of the originators of vocalese, which adds lyrics to existing instrumental songs and replaces many instruments with vocalists (such as the big-band arrangements of Duke Ellington and Count Basie). Furthermore, he is considered one of the best practitioners of scat singing, which involves vocal jazz soloing. <a href="https://www.last.f

John Carl Hendricks (Newark (Ohio), 16 de septiembre de 1921-Manhattan (Nueva York), 22 de noviembre de 2017) fue un cantante y letrista de música jazz. Fue uno de los creadores del género vocalese, que añade letras a canciones instrumentales existentes y reemplaza muchos instrumentos por vocalistas. Como parte del trío Lambert, Hendricks & Ross (junto con Dave Lambert y Annie Ross), grabó un gran número de canciones de Count Basie y Charlie Parker con el estilo vocalese. Carmen McRae fue una de las muchas cantantes apasionadas por su trabajo y creó álbumes basados en él. Era profesor de jazz en la Universidad de Toledo, Ohio.
