Subject: RE: Origins: point of nonsensical refrain folk music
It can't be too big a stretch to include some discussion of "scat" singing, confined principally to jazz. Louis Armstrong, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald and many other noted singers did their own variations. Is there any relationship between this "nonsense," and that which we see in folk music?
