This idea of keeping communication with your audience intact through the scat bits - it's great, and one I find myself coming back to when I practice my solos. Thank you for that Mr Cowings - to be honest I haven't heard anyone scat that expressively before, but it sure would help an audience that isn't already elbow-deep in jazz.
outside of the super cool and somewhat off-the-wall presentation, this dude has vocal and musical chops to die for. You do not get to sing like that by accident. Respect sir.
This is the kind of thing I'd expect to find in a New Orleans coffee shop, small business, of course, on a cool summer day. It's great, keep up the good work!!
I may be getting ahead of myself but that scatting tip felt like an instant cheat code! I always had the hardest time trying to scat with the “fitting” syllables and not sound like a 5 yr old… amazing how this is really just changing your mindset and does wonders!
Stay with someone who looks at you like Eli. 💗 I always go back to this video. Marion Cowings, you are such an inspiration. I wish I could just once be a part of your jazz clinics, have a great conversation with you. For now, greetings from Chile. Please, come visit!
I mean, cmon. That was like watching perfection show you the recipe to how perfection is made. There are so many layer of maestro at work there. No doubt these videos will one day find their way into the National Archives. Marion Cowings deserves special recognition as a cultural bridge between generations and styles that will otherwise be forgotten and untold. He is a National Treasure & deserves the distinction.
Marion does weekly vocal clinics at Small's jazz club- see live stream online, along with Mezzrow's. Love the idea of singing II-V's creatively instead of just scales to warm-up. Warning: do not do the Lion pose without using a Tongue-Scraper first!!
Thank you for sharing...I have been taking singing lessons since the summer of 2010 here in the Netherlands and singing old Jazz songs at a local theater, love it...but still learning to improve my voice...
Thank you so very much Marion Cowings. Your explanations make it all so clear. Thank you Eli Yamin for showing inexperienced pianist how one should move with and support the movement of the vocalist. Thank you to those responsible for this series being made available. Thank you.
Oh my God - you are way to old for me, but after your strangely silly but ever so convincing and impressive scat improv.... I'M GONNA TAKE ALL OF YOU!!!
Just to clarify for any singers who might be confused: "I'll give you 2 measures up front", but the intro was actually 8 bars (measures)...thanks for posting a video that so many people got so much joy over : )
This was such a brilliantly helpful video. You're amazing my friend...great teacher..excellent singer..and an inspiration. Props to the pianist too. This is my beginning of my new found hobby/dream/soul-filling experience. Thank you my friend :D
Thank you for this video! Very inspiring and helped me a lot. I have a higher voice so it's hard for me to find songs that I can sing. Improvising it might help me. Thanks!
It's a 2-5-1 in g major (then up a half step to A flat (G# enharmonically). It sounds like Eli's dropping in some simple improv with thirds, but it's a progression that gets used in lots of music.
***** anything from almost every jazz standard (like blues Bossa or moments notice) to songs like Sunday morning by maroon five. The Jazz stuff usually has sudden key changes but when you get used to it it's pretty cool.

he's like a snazzy jazzy grandpa, I really enjoyed this
He looks like my aunt
the face he makes before doing the lion is priceless.. that emotionless tired of life yet still sassy expression
"again... on three"
I died 😂😂

Excellent point! Louis Armstrong was something indeed.
I want a girlfriend that looks at me the same way Eli Yamin looks at Marion Cowings.
Øyvind Kjølen 🤣😂
Haha, oh man 😂
lmao
Øyvind Kjølen I WAS GONNA SAY THAAAAAT

Marion: Thank you...
Eli: 🎶🎵🎶
Marion: THANKS ELIIIIIIIIIII😠
lol
omg i laughed so hard
I caught that! LMAO! Great singing, though!
This guy is full 'o swag!
This man definitely is the coolest person in the entire World
"You took apart what once was my heart"
This is the kind of thing I'd expect to find in a New Orleans coffee shop, small business, of course, on a cool summer day. It's great, keep up the good work!!
I was in New Orleans last year and asked the house band in a cafe to play All of Me, after having seen this video. So great minds think alike ;)
There are no cool summer days in new orleans

Eli looks so intrigued

This is so impressive.. I draw for living and his advice is useful even for making art pieces.
not for a living but i draw too and it does help

This was the most fun and interesting scat I’ve ever seen 😮✨
I like his style
Omg, I want his voice by my side the rest of the days of my life
Dem pants... Vest. Tie. Neck. Thing. Omg. Swaggomatic!
Absolutely loved this! What a delight. Made me smile and blew me away with his killer scat skillsss
Simply amazing
This made me smile so big! Thanks!
Love this guy! He's got so much class and swagger!
Incredible. Also. The comments. 😂🤣 just love you people!

The "2 measures [bars] up front" was the count-in, not the intro. "1 - and -2 - and | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 | " then the 8-bar piano intro.
@@ArthurKaletzkyThanks for actually clearing that up.
This was such a brilliantly helpful video. You're amazing my friend...great teacher..excellent singer..and an inspiration. Props to the pianist too. This is my beginning of my new found hobby/dream/soul-filling experience. Thank you my friend :D
Really enjoyed this. Sharing with my vocal friends. Connecting without words.
hooo God Great Job,"All Of Me",I love it
I love Marion's style. Reminds me a little of if you combined two masters: Jimmy Scott and Mel Torme.
He doesn't know it (and I don't know him) but he's officially my uncle!
LOL
Lol
Great explanation ❤️💐❤️
Thanks for the video
Jazz wisdom right here.
Excellent!.......Thank you JALCJA and Mr. Cowings!
you, sir, are amazing as a trumpet solo in a funky jazz musical night
Thank you for this video! Very inspiring and helped me a lot. I have a higher voice so it's hard for me to find songs that I can sing. Improvising it might help me. Thanks!

I absolutely adore this man- I'd go American from Ireland just for him to teach me
Excellent Video. Thank you
The guy on piano is looking at him breathless
in the scat part he makes a perfect character for twin peaks in the black lodge
Thank you. I need to try this.

Nice quote of "Struttin With Some Barbeque"
I really love him.
Bautiful, congrats maestro!

Parabéns ,um espetáculo,ótimo fica com DEUS

No wonder the pianoman stares at him in awe like this... He has to look out for his conducting
Exactly. It's not just "awe", it's attentiveness.

what's the song played in about 2:45 ? Sounds so good!
It's a 2-5-1 in g major (then up a half step to A flat (G# enharmonically). It sounds like Eli's dropping in some simple improv with thirds, but it's a progression that gets used in lots of music.
