Scotty Wright Jazz Musician

Saturday, February 26, 2022, 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Location: Firehouse Cultural Center

Event type: Center Stage

This Event is Saturday, February 26 at 7:30 pm.

A veteran musician for over 30 years, one can hear the entire spectrum of jazz singing in the performance of vocalist Scotty Wright.

With a warm, rich-toned voice and relaxed delivery, Scotty possesses a unique sound that is deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. His style features harmonic sophistication, a playful rhythmic approach and insightful phrasing of the lyric.

When Scotty takes the audience into the world of the blues, there is no doubt he has been there before.
While he’s singing a romantic ballad, the listener feels each note, hearing and believing every word.
And in his uptempo songs, he generates an energy that ignites the room, especially during his thrilling forays into wordless ‘scat’ singing.

Scotty’s repertoire includes interpretations of classic songs by Gershwin, Porter, Kern and Rodgers & Hart; jazz standards by Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Horace Silver, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter and Billy Strayhorn, as well as his own well-crafted songs.

Joining Scotty onstage will be:
• John O’Leary, piano
• Mark Neuenschwander, bass
• Stephen Bucholtz, drums

This will be a performance not to miss!
