I always show up to any gig at least an hour ahead of time. I don't like to be rushed. Anyone I hire knows that is the expectation. Me or my groups will be set up with plenty of time before the event so that the event organizer and I can chat before hand and make sure everything is set and ready to go. Many years of experience has taught me and the performers I hire how to play a room. We rarely ever have to be told to turn down because we are too loud. We understand the difference between playing a banquet hall with 500 people as compared to a coffee shop with 20 people. Once the gig is over, me and my musicians will quietly pack up and leave without causing a disturbance.
Scott has been playing music since he was 5 years old. He fell in love with jazz at an early age and later expanded into all styles of music. He’s been in ska bands, rock bands, jazz bands, worship bands, cover bands, and punk bands. He’s performed and taught in musical theater shows, marching band shows, percussion ensembles, and orchestras. He studied with Tony Cirone at San Jose State University and Ed Soph and Mark Ford at the University of North Texas.
Scott’s path to New Orleans has had many obstacles, which is why his super power is Perseverance. After struggling with addiction and the death of his mother and grandmother within two years of each other, Scott made a decision to keep moving forward. Having been clean for over 10 years and recovering from the loss of his family, he made the decision to move to New Orleans to work as a full time musician in a town he fell in love with in previous visits. It had become painfully obvious that living in San Jose, California as a musician just wasn’t working anymore. He looks forward to making amazing music with the musicians here and learning from the deep music roots and culture here.
Whether it is a solo gig or a group I hire, our requirements vary on the size of the venue. For smaller venues where we don't need amplification, all we need is power. For larger venues, a PA, microphones, stands and cables can be provided by us for an additional fee. But many larger venues have this equipment already.
Largely influenced by the jazz greats including Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Gary Burton, Chick Corea, Max Roach, Buddy Rich, and many more.
