Ellavate

To emulate the sublime scatting of the Queen of Jazz.

Me: You’ve got to come see my niece Addie solo with the high school jazz band—for a ninth grader, she seriously ellavates that shit.
Family friend: Must be in the blood – You used to know something about ellavating when you were a young chanteuse.

“Whitney could trill for sure,” asserted the pompous pop critic, “but she never had it in her to ellavate.”
