When they asked Dizzy Gillespie to describe Ella Fitzgeralds talent his reply was "man I can't see that far".

With Louis, these two were the best Scat singers ever. Saw Mel live in Manchester, UK in fifties when I was just 16 and he was wonderful. All my mates were into R and Roll but I was jazz mad and already playing drums in local gigs. Mel played piano and drums and he was a really good drummer as some videos on KZitem will show.

As far as Scat singing goes Ella, and Mel are the Queen, and King of Scat Singing...but it would be remiss not to mention other gifted scat singing artist such as, Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross, Eddie Jefferson, Andy Bey and the Bey Sisters, The Manhattan Transfer, Anita O'Day, Betty Carter, Carmen McRae, Joe Carroll, Joe Williams, Keely Smith, and the Father of Everything Jazz, Louis Armstrong!...There have been many other marvelous, and skilled jazz singers who have had the chops to Scat (You just have to find them)...A little humorous side note...On one of Frank Sinatra's TV specials back in the day (The 60's) he is doing a duet with Ella, and then the Incomparable Ella starts to Scat, and Sinatra takes one look at her, and he knows he's not even going to try and go there...Sinatra's quizzical face is priceless!

Glad I got to see both of them in concert while they were still around. Ella was amazing in 1983, but had faded quite a bit by the time I saw her a second (and last) time in 1988. Torme, however, was in top form right up until the stroke that ended his career. He somehow seemed to get better with age.
