Scat music IS Jazz Music not separate from it. It's simply made-up nonsense words sung to a tune instead of the lyric and often comprises an improvised chorus. Louis Armstrong was credited with inventing it when, so the story goes, his music manuscript with the lyric fell accidentally on to the floor during a recording session and instead of aborting the recording, Louis just made up some nonsense words but applying his usual musicality to the process. But, who was the first to call it "scatting" I haven't any idea.
