"I was so, so honored to have been asked to come back last March to my school, and to perform in historic Kilbourn Hall. I sent them a ton of music to work on. When I got there I was overwhelmed with the amount of work the students had put into my music. I knew the concert went well, but frankly I was just hanging on, having been tasked with conducting seventy-five minutes of some of my most difficult music. We did not set out to do a CD. But when I heard the rough mixes of the concert, the flawless performances, the burning solos, the youthful exuberance with which they played, and the pristine recording which featured the rich acoustics of Kilbourn Hall, I knew I had a full CD on my hands – new music, pieces from my catalog I've always wanted to record—I picked the best fifty or so minutes, I mixed it, I mastered it, I pressed it, and now it's released worldwide." –Scott Healy "Scott Healy is a professional with a real resume and a real "career, " for lack of a better term. That aside, he is a creative and original voice in a world that is largely hidden to the masses, and is more magical than most would ever imagine." – Tim Reid, Music Connection Composer, producer, pianist and multi-keyboardist Scott Healy, perhaps best-known as keyboardist in the Basic Cable Band on Conan on TBS, received a Grammy nomination in 2014 for Best Instrumental Composition for "Koko on the Boulevard" from his critically-acclaimed jazz ensemble recording Hudson City Suite. He is currently multi-tasking in LA and across the universe in the studio and on the stage in a wide variety of musical endeavors. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
