IMPROVISATION is one of the main ideas in Jazz and SCATSINGING is the language we use to translate our emotions into music.
As with learning any new language, we need to internalize grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in order to speak it fluently.
When we stick to this comparison, we can say that
the GRAMMAR is HARMONY and RHYTHM
the VOCABULARY is the SCAT SYLLABLES and
the PRONUNCIATION depends on the AREA that we visit (like Swing, Latin, Blues, etc.), there are plenty of different dialects.
So what is the best and quickest way for learning a foreign language?
It is to travel to a world where it is spoken.
