If you want to learn how to sing like Milt Jackson, you need to understand that he is mostly known for his incredible skills playing the vibraphone and not for singing. Nevertheless, there are some techniques that he used while playing that could be applied to singing.

One of the most distinctive things about Milt Jackson's playing is his use of the thumb. He frequently employs an alternating-thumb technique, in which he uses his thumb to play a note and then immediately follows it with another note played by his index or middle finger. The result is a "chimey" or bell-like sound that is unique to his style.

Another distinguishing characteristic of his playing is his advanced use of chord progressions and substitutions. He often played multiple chords within a single measure, creating harmonic movement that was unpredictable and complex.

To incorporate some of Milt Jackson's techniques into your singing, you can try to pay attention to the use of your thumb and find ways to alternate between your thumb and other fingers to add interesting variations to your singing.
