A Little Scat

So, I'm in the editing booth learning all these new things and I see some old scat material taped the day I was shooting Danny Young for the documentary.  When we were done with his interview he said, "Scat with me."  So I did, and we did, and we put his wife, artist Denise Green Young, on the camera and out came some stuff that doesn't seem quite as horrible as I thought it would be the day we shot it.  If nothing else, check this out for Danny.  He's a wonderful improviser, so you can imagine how great and sensitive he was during the Voices of the Homeless performance.  Here it is:

And for any jazz buffs out there, Danny's dad is the famous jazz trumpeter, Snooky Young, who had just passed away about a month before we shot Danny's interview and this music.

Thanks again for watching.
