What Florence Foster Jenkins is to the Aria,
Shooby Taylor, The Human Horn
is to jazz vocal improvisation.
Scat in the most literal sense.

A major military musical mixup occured the day the Pope visited the White House. The Army Herald Trumpets and the President's Own Marine Band were to play Arrival Honors and "Hail to the Chief" as the President was introduced.  The military personnel in charge of each of the 2 musical group did not collaborate.  So here is the end result. As you might imagine, the 2 men in charge were in a handful of trouble, while both bands are off the hook for doing what they were told.
Enjoy this marvelous rendition of Hail to the Chief.

And finally, a classic....

After the last child moved out of the house, and years of ignoring the fact that the love was gone, Mom and Dad announced they were getting a divorce. The kids were distraught and hired a marriage counselor to try and keep the parents together. The counselor worked for hours, tried all of his methods, but the couple still wouldn't even talk to each other.

Finally, the counselor went over to a closet, brought out a beautiful upright Bass, and began to play. After a few moments, the couple started talking. They discovered that they weren't actually that far apart and decide to give their marriage another try. The kids were amazed and asked the
counselor how he managed to do it.

He replied, "I've never seen anyone who wouldn't talk during a bass solo."
