Bio:

Musical diversity fosters creative. It is in this vein that Scott has spent his career, searching for music to make his own.

A lifelong musician, Scott gained his earliest musical experiences growing up on Long Island, New York. Going on to study music at Roanoke College in Virginia, the trumpet and guitar pulled him in increasingly opposed directions: studying classical and jazz performance while also playing guitar for local rock acts including Dave Bernard and Resurrected Sausage.

Scott has appeared regularly with the Big Lick Brass, Virginia Folk-Jazz Trio, Halfmoon Band, Plan B, and Dave Bernard & Resurrected Sausage. He has performed the Hindemith Sonata, Hummel Concerto, and Antheil’s Sonata for Trumpet and Piano. In 2005 he composed and performed Something Beautiful for Trumpet and Computer. Alongside regular performances, he has appeared on stage with the likes of the Queens Jazz Orchestra (led by Jimmy Heath), Abbey Road Live! and performed at countless weddings and church services.

In addition to performance credits, Scott has written hundreds of arrangements for the Big Lick Brass, Fat Daddy Blues Band, Kandinsky Trio.
