Milagros Dillon · Answer 2

Scat singing is the vocal jazz technique that uses nonsense syllables for improvisation. This technique is using emotive, onomatopoeic, and nonsense syllables instead of words in solo improvisations on a melody.

Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) became known for his scat singing.
