I've never been one for scatting, any sort, but give it a minute or skip and watch what this young gal can do.
There's a lot more of her on youtube. She's impressive!
Mohini Day, Indian and her father was a jazz bass artist as well.
Brief studio work. She's the full package!
Practice and muscle memory make visuals less important.Mohini can jam that fretless bass! As a non-player, I wonder if fretless is harder because there is no visual cue where the player's fingers should be. Or if fretless allows the player to be loose and free-flow. The fifth string probably helps free-form playing too.
