Dan Hicks (singer) Quote

When I scat I want to be right up there with the other scatters of the world. I think of making a good, melodic, creative, listenable solo. The best "idea" people are the instrumentalists, so why not try to be as good as them? I like to vary my sounds, my vowels, my syllables, my consonants, but mostly make it swing — maybe it be good jazz.
