About Me

Hi, I'm Scott from the Denver, CO area. I am a trumpet player, big band leader as well as freelance player in/around the Denver area. My first love is big band jazz but I love playing anything including rock, funk, blues, classical, even polkas! I am involved in a number of groups including the Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra, CHASED (a Bill Chase tribute band), Mass Hipsteria (funk group), Red Hot Rhinos (blues band), Denver Horns (including The Last Waltz Revisited), and many others.

Day job is as a pilot instructor for UAL.

My show will focus on jazz and specifically big band jazz. This is NOT your parents big band jazz (i.e. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, etc) though some of the classics might slip in from time to time. THIS show features recent (last 10-20yrs) jazz orchestras/big bands of the greats like Maynard Ferguson, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, and Buddy Rich as well as current groups like Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band (LA), Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (NY) and hundreds more. Some local, up-and-coming groups will be featured as well.
