Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with random vocables and syllables or without words at all. Scat singing gives singers the ability to sing improvised melodies and rhythms, to create the equivalent of an instrumental solo using their voice. Though scat singing is improvised, the melodic lines are often variations on scale and arpeggio fragments, stock patterns and riffs, as is the case with instrumental improvisers. As well, scatting usually incorporates musical structure.

Will Friedwald has compared Ella Fitzgerald to Chuck Jones directing his Roadrunner cartoon each uses predetermined formulas in innovative ways. Among the greatest exponents of the scat style was Mel Tormé, a child prodigy drummer who went on to become one of the most influential jazz performers of the 20th century. Tormé''s effortless scatting was built on his outstanding big band arrangement and multi-instrumentalist skills.
