Scat singing

Scat singing is a vocal improvisation technique used in jazz music where singers use nonsensical syllables and sounds instead of actual lyrics. This style allows vocalists to express musical ideas and emotions with their voice, much like an instrument would. Scat singing often involves fast, playful rhythms and melodic patterns, showcasing the singer's creativity and musicality. Notable scat singers include Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, who have elevated this art form, making it a cherished element of jazz performance. It emphasizes spontaneity and personal expression within the jazz genre.
