She is the greatest scatter I've heard, and she's just getting started. She has the vocabulary and harmonic awareness of a top level instrumentalist, plus soulful blues, mad swing and best of all, total authenticity.

[@ibrahimmoss]

When I first heard her scat, I thought I was listening to a horn player. I later discovered she is a trumpeter. So it made sense. I would put her among an elite category of female jazz singers who scat. Not to compare her to anyone else, but one cannot overlook Ella Fitzgerald. She remains the queen.

[@doron6015]

She had the right music education Both parents are musicians ( pros) The right enrichment And ofcourse, she practice the right way

Veronica Swift has more bebop language than most horn players, and she's a SINGER. Insanely good

[@Eastpointe]

I prefer jazz singer Roberta G over Veronica. Roberta has more natural soul and a captivating stage presence. Swift performed at the Detroit Jazz Fest a few years ago and her presence was absolutely boring. We weren’t all that impressed. She comes off as a singer who copies and lives in the shadow of the greats instead of carving out her own innovative identity. Detroit knows music and know when an artist is not....

Veronica, please keep doing what you're good at and what feels right. No need to be like CMS. She can do things that you can't, but you can do things that she can't. No one else on this planet can scat with your horn-like harmonic, melodic and rhythmic inventiveness. Do what you're good at and what feels right, whether that be opera, goth rock or country. (As if she would ever read this lol).

Excuse my ignorance, but who is CMS?

@@RocketCalcutta Cecile McLorin Salvant. She's great, but in a different way than Veronica. Cecile doesn't scat and outline chords, but she has a more resonant and dynamic voice than Veronica.
