	Scat singing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		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.

	Sound Healing Technigues
		Singing is more chromatic pitch wise, like black and white keys on the piano, while talking adds microtonal notes, inbetween the black and white keys for a greater variety of pitches than singing.
		Singing uses the melody that goes with the song, while talking is free to use whatever kind of melody we need to express ourselves.
		Overtone singing, also called harmonic overtone singing or tuva singing, works on the fact that any note the voice produces is also actually a chord that we hear as one note.

	SCAT Singing: Handling Unusual Call Numbers with the III SCAT table mechanism
		In her presentation, she laid out all the information for you: what the SCAT table is for, and how it should be set up for use with Library of Congress and Dewey call numbers, the standard call number systems for which it was designed.
		The SCAT table is used to create categories, or groups, or "buckets," as Sandy calls them, into which your call numbers will fall, so that you can generate meaningful statistics based on the call number of an item.
		This poses a problem for the SCAT table mechanism, because letters are supposed to be followed by numbers.

	African American Review: Body and Soul: Bob Kaufman's Golden Sardine
		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.
		The distinction Grant makes between scat and vocalese is noteworthy, particularly because, in his jazz poetry, Kaufman often ignores the differences between these two vocal forms, writing texts that demonstrate his ability to blend and blur their demarcations.

	Online NewsHour: Remembering Ella Fitzgerald -- June 17, 1996
		MEL TORME: Well, scat singing is the alter ego of what instrumentalists play--a tenor saxophone player, a trumpet player--when they improvise on their horns, scat singing is the implementation of the voice singing extemporaneously.
		MEL TORME: Meaning that she pioneered scat singing, she pioneered the kind of ballads that she sang with great heart, with great warmth, with great maturity, and consequently, we all leaned on her, we all said, okay, we're following in your footsteps.
		MEL TORME: Well, because she encompassed the kind of singing that dealt with jazz, that dealt with singing the popular song as only she could, and I felt that male or female, male or female, she was it.

	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.
		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.
		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.

		And although this session is often credited as the "origin" of scat singing in jazz, there are many other earlier practitioners of the mode.
		What's fascinating about the story is the seeming need to narrate scat as a fall, as a literal dropping of the words--as an unexpected loss of the lyrics that finally proves enabling.
		The written words slip to the ground, and an entirely new approach to the singing voice is discovered in the breach, in the exigencies of musical time.

	George Graham Reviews FOLK SCAT
		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.
		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.
