Talk:Scat singing
|
|
I moved the Dick Higgins material here from the article called Skat, which I just converted into an article on the card game. I took one word out of the Dick Higgins quote when I moved it. The word was metatacized which I do not recognize and neither does Webster's Unabridged or the Oxford Englsih Dictionary. I replaced it with [transformed] which is what the sense suggested to me. Either Higgins meant metastasized in which case the word is very poorly chosen, but I suppose should be put back in the quote, or metatacized is a technical musical term that at least one person with a fairly large vocabulary did not recognize, and should be glossed with [transformed] or some better word if it is put back in. See Talk:Skat for what I did to that article. Ortolan88 04:12 Dec 30, 2002 (UTC)
Terrific source of information on Scat
Many thanks for the expanded information about the history of Scat, the origin and early performers. As a student, I found your site one of the best on the subject.

Title
I am reverting the change of article title from "Scat singing" to "Jazz scat", as the former is a very much more common term for the subject. I'll agree to moving the title if there is concensus to do so; if you think the page should be retitled, please discuss the reasons, thanks. -- Infrogmation 04:45, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
B-52s
The B52 did scat singing in some of their songs, should we mention them in this article? --SuperDude 02:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- If they are particularly famous or notable for their scat singing. Certainly hundreds of artists have done scat singing, those mentioned are generally those who were unusual for doing it early, in some influential or extrodinary way, or were famous specifically for scat singing. -- Infrogmation 04:50, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
