Two of the top singers on the jazz scene in the 2020s are trumpeter Benny Benack III. and the lesser-known but equally talented Lia Booth.
On Gigi Gryce’s “Social Call,” with the backing of pianist Gary Matsumoto, guitarist Graham Dechter, bassist Alex Frank, and drummer Ryan Shaw, the two singers engage in vocalese from a 1950s recording and some lively and spontaneous scat-singing.
