High Country Jazz Festival presents “Scatting: From Ella Fitzgerald to Jazzmeia Horn”

Todd Wright, Appalachian State University Jazz Area Coordinator, will take us on a musical journey all about scatting or scat singing. In scat singing, the singer improvises melodies and rhythms using the voice solely as an instrument rather than a speaking medium.

The talk will focus on two of the great scat singers: Ella Fitzgerald, regarded by many as THE greatest scat singer in Jazz history; and Jazzmeia Horn, one of scat’s modern torchbearers.

Jazzmeia Horn is also the Saturday night headlining act for the 2024 High Country Jazz Festival. The concert will take place at the Appalachian Theatre in Boone, NC, from 7:30 to 10 pm.
