and was never convinced. I've read the word "bawdy" applied to her style of scat, but I would use the word "ungraceful". Now, I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of scat, as it often sounds mannered and unmusical to me "in the wrong hands". Unlike many others, I find Kurt Elling to be grating in the same way, so it's unquestionably something of a personal bias. For me, scat should be "as a woodwind" (smooth, flickering, elegant runs up and down the scale) not "as a brass instrument" (brash, emphatic, percussive). YMMV.
