True Music Addon: John Scatman

December 3, 2024 marks 25 years since the death of the great jazz musician in the style of «Scat Singing» John Scatman. In order to perpetuate the memory of such an outstanding personality for society, who made an invaluable contribution to the development of this direction of music, turned his main disadvantage into an advantage and contributed to other children struggling with their innate speech features with his creativity, I present True Music Addon, which includes all three lifetime music albums of this artist. All music has only a cassette edition due to the lack of proper official variety of vinyl covers.

HISTORICAL REFERENCE: John Paul Larkin was born in the USA on March 13, 1942 with a speech dysfunction in the form of logoneurosis (i.e. stuttering). Such a health problem led to a difficult childhood with ridicule from peers. In connection with this, the musician, at a more mature age, decided to limit himself to the profession of a jazz pianist, without performing as a singer. In addition, he had alcohol and drug addictions, which he successfully overcame after the death of his musician friend, who died precisely as a result of drug addiction. In 1994, the author's first single, «Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)», was released in Germany, personifying the author's struggle with his own stutter, which led to worldwide success and the birth of John Scatman (the author adopted a new pseudonym). Subsequently, three full-length music albums were released in 1995, 1997 and 1999. Unfortunately, in 1998, the musician was diagnosed with a fatal disease (lung cancer), and despite doctors' orders to reduce his workload, the performer went on tour in support of his latest album. On November 26, 1999, John Scatman collapsed on stage during one of his concerts. The performer died on December 3, 1999 (at age 57). His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered over the ocean near Malibu, California.
