Vocal Jazz Improvisation

Vocal Jazz Improvisation is a performative practice within jazz music in which the human voice is employed spontaneously in real time to generate melodic, rhythmic, and tonal variations, distinguished by its reliance on vocal techniques such as scat singing, melodic paraphrasing, and expressive phrasing without pre-composed notation.
