Me & My Jazz by Yomi Sower Episode 21: “Can you Scat?” ( A research on Vocal Jazz Improvisation) Pt. 1
“There are no Jazz Singers in this country…” said the lady at the other end of the phone call. We had just had a conversation about promoting a Jazz event and something led to her making this statement. But honestly, she made a very valid point, because there are a number of essential elements that must be present in a singer’s ‘singing’ before they can pass themselves off as an authentic jazz singer… clearly, the lady was aware of this fact and could distinguish between singers.
