Quero Saber was a chord progression that I wrote while travelling in Brazil. Mari Anne Jayme wrote that awesome melody and Carla Hassett put lyrics to it. That's Mari Anne you hear on vocals, Jeff Hanley on bass, Geraldo de Oliveira on triangle and I did guitars, samples, drum programming and produced.
Toninho is from my 2003 cd release, Batizado , and was recorded in Minas Gerais, Brazil with its namesake, Toninho Horta, Lincoln Cheib on drums, Ricardo Fiuza on keys and Ivan Correa on bass. Geraldo de Oliveira plays percussion and produced the session in Brazil.
Scottinho is a name that developed for me through my experience with capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian art form. The music from my CD refelects my experience with capoeira and Brazilian culture in general. I don't play capoeira anymore, and very few people still call me Scottinho, but it's still there, as a part of me.
After 11 years in Chicago, I moved to NY in 2005 to pursue a career in film music. One of the first movies I did went to the Sundance Film Festival and is opened theatrically in 2007. It is on the short list for an Academy Award. See the trailer here .
I also teach at three community music schools in the NY area.
Also, I'm producing and compilation CD of indie artists covering war-time songs to benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Click on the "Saw You My Hero" page in my friends list for more info.
