I was not impressed, but that's because I just don't get "scat".
nope nope nope.
OTOH, Eva Cassidy, if I may segue, only produced one or two albums before her death. All the rest is copies of her first cuts of songs recorded in a studio with only her guitar and a mike.
Not the best by any stretch, but squint your ears and listen to the passion, the love of music, seeping through every pore of her being.

With Eva, you either get it or you don`t - transcends mere music for me...[nt] chris.redmond2@bushinternet.com 14:10:56 04/08/01 (0)

Sarah Vaughan is not just a scat specialist...indeed, if you go
to that CD I recommended in that post, you wont hear a single
song done in scat in 22 or so numbers.
Actually, I like Billie Holiday the best of all the jazz singers
as no one, and I mean NO ONE, has her soul, depth, and feeling.
Personally, I dont think anyone comes close, even to this day.
But you should give Vaughan another chance as SCAT was not her
only calling; in fact, I always think of Ella Fitzgerald when
someone mentions SCAT, as that was more of her claim to fame.

  I'll give her another chance.
  I have a bit of cash burning a hole in my pocket. Was gonna buy a handful of Joni Mitchell HDCD remasters, but maybe I'll expand my horizons a bit.
