Bobby Scott • Scott Free

 

Biography
by Ron Wynn
Though he left performing for composing at the end of the '50s and stayed away many years before returning, Bobby Scott made some entertaining, delightful music. He was a good pianist, effective vocalist, and above average vibist. Scott also played accordion, bass, cello, and clarinet. He studied at the La Follette School of Music in New York City in 1945 with Edvard Moritz, a former Debussy pupil as a child, and was a professional at 11. He was playing with Louis Prima and traveling with veteran musicians at 15. Scott worked with Gene Krupa and Tony Scott (unrelated) in the mid-'50s, and had a pop hit with his version of "Chain Gang." Scott worked at the Cafe Bohemia, and appeared at the Great South Bay Jazz Festival in 1958 and the New Haven Festival of Arts in 1959. He then became a teacher of theory and harmony and resumed his studies with Moritz. But Scott gradually returned to performing and recording. His final album, the Nat King Cole tribute For Sentimental Reasons, was recorded in 1989 and released in 1990, the same year that Scott died of lung cancer at the age of 53. Scott recorded as a leader for Verve, ABC-Paramount, Bethlehem, and Musicmasters. His recordings have been made available during the digital era on such releases as the 2000 Collectables two-fer A Taste of Honey/The Compleat Musician and the 2007 Fresh Sound compilation The Compositions of Bobby Scott.

Biografía
por Ron Wynn
Aunque dejó la interpretación para componer a finales de los años 50 y se mantuvo alejado muchos años antes de volver, Bobby Scott hizo una música entretenida y deliciosa. Era un buen pianista, un vocalista eficaz y un vibrante superior a la media. Scott también tocaba el acordeón, el bajo, el chelo y el clarinete. Estudió en la Escuela de Música La Follette de Nueva York en 1945 con Edvard Moritz, antiguo alumno de Debussy cuando era niño, y era profesional a los 11 años. A los 15 años ya tocaba con Louis Prima y viajaba con músicos veteranos. Scott trabajó con Gene Krupa y Tony Scott (no relacionados) a mediados de los 50, y tuvo un éxito pop con su versión de "Chain Gang". Scott trabajó en el Cafe Bohemia, y apareció en el Great South Bay Jazz Festival en 1958 y en el New Haven Festival of Arts en 1959. Luego se convirtió en profesor de teoría y armonía y retomó sus estudios con Moritz. Pero Scott volvió gradualmente a actuar y grabar. Su último álbum, el tributo a Nat King Cole For Sentimental Reasons, se grabó en 1989 y se publicó en 1990, el mismo año en que Scott murió de cáncer de pulmón a la edad de 53 años. Scott grabó como líder para Verve, ABC-Paramount, Bethlehem y Musicmasters. Sus grabaciones han estado disponibles durante la era digital en lanzamientos como el bipartito A Taste of Honey/The Compleat Musician, de 2000, y la compilación The Compositions of Bobby Scott, de 2007, de Fresh Sound.
