he's like a snazzy jazzy grandpa, I really enjoyed this
He looks like my aunt
I want a girlfriend that looks at me the same way Eli Yamin looks at Marion Cowings.
Øyvind Kjølen 🤣😂
Haha, oh man 😂
lmao
Øyvind Kjølen I WAS GONNA SAY THAAAAAT
Øyvind Kjølen 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
the face he makes before doing the lion is priceless.. that emotionless tired of life yet still sassy expression
"again... on three"
I died 😂😂
Marion: Thank you...
Eli: 🎶🎵🎶
Marion: THANKS ELIIIIIIIIIII😠
lol
omg i laughed so hard
I caught that! LMAO! Great singing, though!
i was not expecting the tongue thing. lol
Me as well 😂😂
wtf
I laughed so hard
Maybe he could have brushed his tongue before this video lol!
This guy is full 'o swag!
"You took apart what once was my heart"
Eli looks so intrigued
This man definitely is the coolest person in the entire World
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.
Excellent point! Louis Armstrong was something indeed.
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.
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!!
😭
does he still do this???
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!
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!
This is the kind of thing I'd expect to find in a New Orleans coffee shop, small business, of course, on a cool summer day. It's great, keep up the good work!!
I was in New Orleans last year and asked the house band in a cafe to play All of Me, after having seen this video. So great minds think alike ;)
There are no cool summer days in new orleans
@@guarrho Truth.
This is so impressive.. I draw for living and his advice is useful even for making art pieces.
not for a living but i draw too and it does help
🤔
Dem pants... Vest. Tie. Neck. Thing. Omg. Swaggomatic!
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.
He doesn't know it (and I don't know him) but he's officially my uncle!
LOL
Lol
Oh my God - you are way to old for me, but after your strangely silly but ever so convincing and impressive scat improv.... I'M GONNA TAKE ALL OF YOU!!!
my mom just ask me what im doing

This cat hasn't left any cool for the rest of us.
Love this guy! He's got so much class and swagger!
Man, I just can't stop hearing you over and over again... Oh, if I could sing the same...
so much musicality and expression in your Skatting, love it!
This was such a brilliantly helpful video. You're amazing my friend...great teacher..excellent singer..and an inspiration. Props to the pianist too. This is my beginning of my new found hobby/dream/soul-filling experience. Thank you my friend :D
Omg, I want his voice by my side the rest of the days of my life
This made me smile so big! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing...I have been taking singing lessons since the summer of 2010 here in the Netherlands and singing old Jazz songs at a local theater, love it...but still learning to improve my voice...

Excellent!.......Thank you JALCJA and Mr. Cowings!
I like his style
Thank you so very much Marion Cowings. Your explanations make it all so clear. Thank you Eli Yamin for showing inexperienced pianist how one should move with and support the movement of the vocalist. Thank you to those responsible for this series being made available. Thank you.
Yeah he was very attentive.
Thank you so much for this! I love jazz music and singers so much and I'm eager to learn about it. Thanks for the lesson 😘❤️😘❤️🥳🥳🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏
hooo God Great Job,"All Of Me",I love it
Simply amazing
you, sir, are amazing as a trumpet solo in a funky jazz musical night
Love this, Marion, thanks! Great advice, and not just for vocalists. Informative and fun.
Love this so much
Wow....this was so much delightful and excellent tuition.
Only started singing some jazz...Misty 💃🥰
Really enjoyed this. Sharing with my vocal friends. Connecting without words.
Those lyrics are fire 🔥😍
Love this guys! 💪🙌❤️
I love Marion's style. Reminds me a little of if you combined two masters: Jimmy Scott and Mel Torme.
I really love him.
LoL I cured my back using this
Hahahahah
Thank you for this video! Very inspiring and helped me a lot. I have a higher voice so it's hard for me to find songs that I can sing. Improvising it might help me. Thanks!
Omg….I’m in love!!!
Love this!
No wonder the pianoman stares at him in awe like this... He has to look out for his conducting
Exactly. It's not just "awe", it's attentiveness.
@@TheSeeking2know but also awe
Not even the weirdest thing I've seen on UA-cam today!
really awesome, I enjoyed a lot!
thank you master .... you are the one
you helped me too much to tell

I absolutely adore this man- I'd go American from Ireland just for him to teach me
Great explanation ❤️💐❤️

Parabéns ,um espetáculo,ótimo fica com DEUS

Love ya Marion!!!!
Jazz wisdom right here.
So good!
Excellent Video. Thank you
you're so ❤️ calming
I was always asking myself what am I singing ,thanks now I know...
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 : )
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.
@@ArthurKaletzkyThanks for actually clearing that up.
this is so good !
the scat part... so good!
thanks for the tips, and nice job!
Brilliant!!!
OMG!!!!!! I love you!!!!
Thank you. I need to try this.
