RE: Haley Reinhart and 3 Idols spotted in NO
Umm -- I don't mean to offend anyone or hurt feelings, but I'm not quite sure that Haley is "scatting" that much in this recording. Perhaps I'm being too much of a purist/literalist here, but what she's largely doing is responding -- vocally mimic-ing what the trumpeter has played. It's not quite vocalese (what the vocal version of "Moanin'" is), but, to me, it's also not scatting which, to me is "on the spot" improv. (That, theoretically, is what the trumpet player was doing.)
Mind you, she did a fantastic job in singing what the trumpeter had played -- and, I suspect he was challenging her to see what kind of vocal chops she had. I also think she passed his test.
