Wikipedia
Scat singing
In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. In scat singing, the singer improvises melodies and rhythms using the voice as an instrument rather than a speaking medium. This is different from vocalese, which uses recognizable lyrics that are sung to pre-existing instrumental solos.

scat singing
Scat singing is a form of vocal improvisation in jazz music where the singer uses nonsensical syllables, sounds, or phrases instead of lyrics. These sounds are often made to mimic musical instruments and can include words like "doo", "be-bop", "skooby-doo", etc. The singer typically uses the voice as a musical instrument itself, improvising melodies and rhythms, much like a horn player would.
