The Scatman Video

There's a big inside joke running through our high school concerning this video because one of my band directors started singing this song and was shocked how none of us had heard it. I think it applies to class because we've been working on improvisation and babbling. Although this is more organized, scatting is usually what is used in jazz music (personally, my favorite to play sometimes) for improvisation. If you can't tell why my band director thought it was so funny listen closely to the beginning of each phrase of scatting....
I truly love scat. That is all we did in jazz choir my senior year. Such a treat! I really liked listening to this song; it had a good groove and I was entertained by the facial kaleidoscope happening throughout.
ReplyDeleteCoolest thing ever. Period. Hahaha. The guy kind of crept me out... but a very catchy song.
