NOW, A JAZZ MOMENT…
MUSIC: My Favorite Recipe (Sheila Jordan)
CD: Jazz Child
HighNote Records 1999
Sheila Jordan: When I scat it’s an emotional feeling, but instead of usin’ words, I’m just usin’ sounds.
NEA JAZZ MASTER, SHEILA JORDAN…
Sheila Jordan: Like when a horn player plays, they do not play words. But you get the feeling from, like a Charlie Parker, I hear every word in that song. Even though he is not SAYING the words. So to me, scatting is like words. They’re bebop words.

THIS JAZZ MOMENT WITH VOCALIST SHEILA JORDAN WAS CREATED BY THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS.
