I had the privilege of hearing Jon and family in a small club in Toronto many years ago. I had no knowledge of his work, we just happened by. I never forgot that evening! The music had such an impact, that 40 yrs later I still remember it well!
To the family, I am so very sorry for your loss. May wonderful memories and the passage of time soften the heartache you feel.

Checked up on my old friend & mentor today: crushed! I loved this guy! He was such an amazing mentor to everyone he came in contact with. I often tell the story how Jon got me reading history of Hannibal crossing the Alps, teaching me something about my Italian roots. His talks were so inspirational. I am so sorry for his family's loss & the loss to this industry. The University of Toledo & our students were so fortunate to have had him for Jazz Vocaleze.

Jon Jr. hit the nail on the head, you had a great run, maybe the best run a human being could have in this world. You were a blessing to all of us & we will cry many tears as we say goodbye.

So sorry to read about the loss of your loved one. Psalms 90:10 shows how he lived a long life of special mightiness from God. Keep his many, many, many memories close in your hearts and minds and cherish them forever. May the comfort of God be with you all during this time of grief.

Family God Bless You And Cherish The Memories. When I Would Stop To Pick Up The Davis Brothers For School We Always Listened To Some Tune From Their Parents Collection. That Day It Happened To Be Lambert-Hendricks-Bavan. What A Sound.

I am Arnett, a trumpeter from Columbus, Ohio and I saw Jon Hendricks in San Francisco in 1975, "The History of the Blues." I have been in love since. I think I went to Toledo to see him on one occasion. I send joy to the family and thanks for ninety years of vocals. Jon was and shall be king of the hill. When the Saints go marching' in I want to be in that number.

And he kept the music alive with Bavan and Chastain after Annie Ross left. Add to that the tragedy of Dave Lambert's death while helping a motorist. I knew Wendy (Dee) Lambert from school. The music industry has lost another soul. RIP

November 24, 2017

I am sorry to learn of Jon's death. I am sure, over the years, I heard some of his music.

When I looked at his age, he lived to be nearly a century old. No doubt, he experienced much in life and was able to share good memories with many others.

The paradise hope awaits those who fall asleep in God's memory. Therefore, may the God of tender mercies comfort you as you deal with Jon's death and await the fulfillment of God's loving promise.

Many years ago, I had the privilege to see Mr. Hendricks at the Village Gate in NYC. After an amazing evening in am intimate setting, I approached Mr. Hendricks wirh a list of every song he had sung that evening and asked him to autograph it for me. He obliged and wrote " A one word jazz poem - LISTEN " I will never forget this and still have that list some 40 years later. Thank you Jon Hendricks. I will always admire you and listen.

To the uninitiated Mr. Hendricks was a poet, an innovator who was way ahead of his time. Brilliant, funny, a showman and artist in every sense of the word. Another crucial link to the history of jazz has left us, and that is truly sad. God bless him, and God keep his family. Mr. Hendricks' legacy and spirit will never leave us!
