Thank you very much for your reply. It's very useful.
Yes, I totally agree with you. There was many new things like rock & roll, R&B, big band...What I mean is that the singing style and voice/ tone in 1960's vocal jazz. For example, in late 1950's, Frank Sinatra sang "I've got you under my skin" with swinging style and romantic tone in order to imbue lyrics with deep emotion. However, I not really know the mainstream of vocal jazz in 1960's. Can I quote Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme and Joe Williams be the most famous vocalist? Can you suggest some disc that can include all of them (have voice, not instrumental one). Thanks again.

May be I should quote this one...though it is not totally correct if you think 60's as a whole:

The Girl From Ipanema/ Astrud Gilberto, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz/ Antonio Cartos Jobim; style: Bossa Nova (Brazil)

Surely, Bossa Nova diffused to jazz scene earlier than 1964. Yet it was well known that Getz/ Gilberto was assumed to be the starter of the wave.

And the upstroke still continues to take effect today.

Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme and Joe Williams ? Well, I'm not sure if there's one stage performance with them all. But I think Pop is not an good example to reflect the 60's. Frank Sinatra is one of my favorite. In fact you can combine my suggestions....Sinatra sings Girl from Ipanema.
