| | Scat singing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One early master of ragtime scat singing was Gene Greene who recorded scat choruses in his song "King of the Bungaloos" several other songs from 1911 to 1917. | | | While the use of nonsense syllables in singing long predates scat, scat singing is distinguished by the fact that rather than using the sounds to exactly reproduce the melodic line, improvisations are made with the melody and rhythm, much as in other jazz improvisations. | | | Scat singing is vocalizing either wordlessly or with nonsense words and syllables as employed by jazz singers who create the equivalent of an instrumental solo using only the voice. |

| | Scat |
| | With her recording of "Flying Home" (thought to be her first scat based song, released in 1947) she introduced variations of scat which showcased a segment of songs made famous by other performers. | | | Today scat has scaled new heights of virtuosity with such performers as Bobby McFerrin, who was even able to put a few scat songs on the Top 40 Charts during the late 1980s and early 90s. | | | Ella seemed to add dazzle to scatting and clearly defined it as a vocal improvisation using phonetic sounds similar to the instrumental sounds of jazz. |

| | Ella Fitzgerald |
| | Although louis Armstrong is credited with "inventing" scat singing, Ella developed scat singing into an art of its own: where a singer sings nonsense vocal tones, using his or her voice improvisationally as a musical instrument instead of a speaking device. | | | But these criticisms overlook a tremendous wealth of moving and sorrowful ballads, which she sang with honest and unforced emotion, in an age where the depth of love in a song was not measured by the sheer volume of a singer's vocal misery. | | | Although not her most critically acclaimed work, her straight-forward singing on these albums appealed to the masses, and helped cement her role as "the First Lady of Song." Her clarity and intonation were absolutely perfect. |

| | Folk Scat, the new album by the eclectic Bulgarian vocal group of the same name is another of those gems of stylistic culture mixing that turns out surprisingly well. | | | This is a scat piece -- that is the lyrics are just meaningless syllables -- with the 7/8 meter and some of the folk vocal techniques giving the piece its Bulgarian flavor. | | | Fortunately, Folk Scat is in the former category, a wonderfully refreshing and creative sound that combines the best elements of both Bulgarian folk and jazz singing. |

| | Although their scat vocabularies were unintelligible, they had in them a rebellious quality that defied the musical status quo. | | | Thus vocalese is distinctly different from scat singing both because it is arranged and composed rather than improvised, and because it relies on language rather than simply sound. | | | Armstrong's scat singing also influenced the singing technique of bebop innovator Dizzy Gillespie, who first began recording bebop in 1944 with saxophonist Charlie Parker. |
