Scat singing is a lost art form and a skilled trade that is uplifting for myself and anyone to practice and get good at from time to time. Good to see a king and queen of scat at the top of their game 😁

It's great to see the look on the faces of the audience, especially the musicians, as they realize that "Hey, this is the real thing, a real musical moment, at an awards show!!" by the absolute Queen of Jazz and no slouch himself, Mel Torme, keeping up with his musical idol, riff for riff. I remember watching this awards show as a 20 something in the mid 1970's, for no reason other than to see who won what. Then Ella and Mel came on and this little 2 minute segment floored me and shifted and expanded my perspective to music.

ApricotPit You don't get it though. The purpose of scat is the skill of the musical ear and melodic skill. It's actually very intelligent although the words are nonsense because it shows how much someone knows about notes. Not everyone can do it. It takes a special person to do that. It also shows versatile vocal ability.

I consider myself fortunate in having seen a few performances of both Mel and Ella. Growing up in Toronto, rich with jazz appreciation, the city would welcome many of the jazz greats. At Ontario Place on the lakeshore, musicians would play to adoring fans on a revolving stage. Ella and Mel graced that stage a number of times and bewitched the audience on balmy summer nights. Those magical nights have stayed with me these many years later. True artists who shared their utter love of music with their audiences.

2021 now and these two masters are two of my all time faves. Ella and the Velvet Fog Mel Torme'. Chills all over and a sadness that comes with remembering the lives of pioneers of Jazz music.

People will argue over who's music is better but in reality, as long as it exists on recording, it is everyone's music.

If you understand scat singing by no means is this "nonsense" scat singing makes perfect sense, it's a language a musical dialogue. If you hear horns players or piano player play the exact lines Ella and Mel are playing here, it too would make perfect sense because the Horn players/piano player are having a musical conversations.
