Scat singing
Rare backstage footage of Scat singing, curated from across the internet. Browse 1 clip below.
Backstage footage captures the world that exists just out of the audience’s sight — the nervous energy before going on, the adrenaline after coming off, the camaraderie, the tension, and the mundane reality of life on the road. These clips humanise artists in a way that stage performances and interviews rarely do.
Originating in vocal jazz, scat singing or scatting is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. In scat singing, the singer improvises melodies and rhythms using the voice solely as an instrument rather than a speaking medium. This is different from vocalese, which uses recognizable lyrics that are sung to pre-existing instrumental solos.
