Jive vocalist Leo Watson is one of the forgotten masters of scat singing. Original Scat Man collects some of the singer's best cuts, including "Utt Da Zay (The Taylor Song)" and "Do You Wanna Jump, Children?" This is rare stuff that fans of swing and blues will be glad to find on one disc. Matt Collar, All Music Guide
