...that don't make you want to kill a man. What are your favourites? Essentially a list thread but to present explanations behind why the 'technique' can sometimes not suck would be much appreciated.

They both do scat there. Phil Harris, more so.

Actually Robert Wyatt and Mel Torme had a BIG argument in the NME in the mid-'70s about the aesthetics of scat singing. Wyatt preferred "the longer line" as opposed to staccato rebop and Torme said that he knew jackshit about singing, let alone scatting.

Slim Gaillard for me, but his scat was as much about the humour as anything else.

Oops, wrong sleeve there.

If they both needed that high note, why didn't they get some violins/violas, instead of 8 double basses?
