Formed in 2008, the 100th Anniversary of Raymond Scott's birth, this project aims to celebrate the music of one of the great, but not widely recognized musical geniuses of the 20th Century. Scott led an extraordinary double life as a pianist/composer/bandleader, and as an engineer/inventor/ electronic music pioneer. The band will be performing the music of the original 1930s Raymond Scott Quintette and beyond.
The concerts feature an exclusive short documentary on Raymond Scott by Stan Warnow (Raymond Scott’s son), which provides a rare insight in to his life and music.
