"Scotty Barnhart's soulful work combines a mastery of tradition with vibrant originality. I love it!" Bill Cosby Scotty Barnhart is an acclaimed jazz trumpeter, leader, composer, arranger, educator, author and currently is in his nineteenth year as a featured soloist with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra.A Two-time Grammy Award winner with the Basie Orchestra, three critically acclaimed recordings by pianist Marcus Roberts and over ten recordings with the likes of Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Ray Charles, and Tito Puente, Scotty recently released his debut solo CD with Unity Music titled Say It Plain. Here he invited Clark Terry, Ellis and Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts, Jamie Davis and Etienne Charles to share his compositions and love of standards on Con Alma, Giant Steps and Barnhart's own, Dedicated To You. Say It Plain achieved No. 3 in the Jazz Charts and has received celebrated reviews. Acknowledged as one of the authorities on the history of jazz trumpet, he intently researched and wrote the ground breaking book The World of Jazz Trumpet - A Comprehensive History and Practical Philosophy. Published by Hal Leonard, it is a valuable source tool for jazz trumpeters, students and jazz fans with interviews from Harry 'Sweets' Edison to Chuck Mangione, technical tutorials, historical events and illustrated with unpublished photographs. When Scotty Barnhart is not touring with The Count Basie Orchestra or teaching at Florida State University, he performs with his own quintet-sextet and lectures and demonstrates at schools, colleges, universities, conferences around the world, spreading jazz music to ensure its future for others to explore and enjoy. “Leading a well-oiled sextet (Monterey JF) here, he proved himself to be a performer of rare range and ability."David Becker - Bay Area Examiner |
