the face he makes before doing the lion is priceless.. that emotionless tired of life yet still sassy expression "again... on three"

Stay with someone who looks at you like Eli. 💗 I always go back to this video. Marion Cowings, you are such an inspiration. I wish I could just once be a part of your jazz clinics, have a great conversation with you. For now, greetings from Chile. Please, come visit!

@shraddhapaimusic 6 лет назад

This idea of keeping communication with your audience intact through the scat bits - it's great, and one I find myself coming back to when I practice my solos. Thank you for that Mr Cowings - to be honest I haven't heard anyone scat that expressively before, but it sure would help an audience that isn't already elbow-deep in jazz.

@danmcbmusic 4 года назад

outside of the super cool and somewhat off-the-wall presentation, this dude has vocal and musical chops to die for. You do not get to sing like that by accident. Respect sir.

@l.harrison9725 6 лет назад

Marion does weekly vocal clinics at Small's jazz club- see live stream online, along with Mezzrow's. Love the idea of singing II-V's creatively instead of just scales to warm-up. Warning: do not do the Lion pose without using a Tongue-Scraper first!!

I may be getting ahead of myself but that scatting tip felt like an instant cheat code! I always had the hardest time trying to scat with the “fitting” syllables and not sound like a 5 yr old… amazing how this is really just changing your mindset and does wonders!

I mean, cmon. That was like watching perfection show you the recipe to how perfection is made. There are so many layer of maestro at work there. No doubt these videos will one day find their way into the National Archives. Marion Cowings deserves special recognition as a cultural bridge between generations and styles that will otherwise be forgotten and untold. He is a National Treasure & deserves the distinction.

@ritadighent 8 лет назад

Just to clarify for any singers who might be confused: "I'll give you 2 measures up front", but the intro was actually 8 bars (measures)...thanks for posting a video that so many people got so much joy over : )

@ArthurKaletzky 8 лет назад

The "2 measures [bars] up front" was the count-in, not the intro. "1 - and -2 - and | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 | " then the 8-bar piano intro.
