Eddie Jefferson (August 3, 1918 – May 9, 1979) was an American jazz vocalist and lyricist. He is credited as an innovator of vocalese, a musical style in which lyrics are set to an instrumental composition or solo. Jefferson himself claims that his main influence was Leo Watson. Perhaps Jefferson's best-known song is "Moody's Mood for Love" which was recorded in 1952, though two years later a recording by King Pleasure catapulted the contrafact into wide popularity (King Pleasure even cites Jefferson as a personal influence). Jefferson's recordings of Charlie Parker's "Parker's Mood" and Horace Silver's "Filthy McNasty" were also hits.

  • Eddie Jefferson (Pittsburgh, 3 agosto 1918 – Detroit, 9 maggio 1979) è stato un cantante statunitense jazz. Fu uno dei fondatori dello stile di canto noto come vocalese, in cui le parole vengono aggiunte ad una composizione strumentale, spesso con sezioni improvvisate. Benché non dotato di mezzi vocali straordinari, Jefferson suppliva con un'eccezionale musicalità e senso del ritmo che gli permettevano di eccellere tra i cantanti jazz. (it)
