Which son of Russian-Jewish parents recorded "How high is the moon" in 1946 and later signed for the Verve label? The only help I have is that he will have a Z in his name .
Many thanks for any help.

I kept coming up with Ella Fitzgerald too!

Stan Getz fills most of the criteria. It doesn`t actually say sing does it.

[BabsG]

Yes, the quiz definitely says son and I kept coming up with Ella as well. Thanks for your efforts.

Try Stan Getz - he was of Russian-Jewish parents and he signed for Verve records.

Thank you everybody. You have all been very kind and helpful. Sam Getz certainly seems to be the correct answer. I can sleep peacefully tonight now.
