Scotty’s songs are about the people, places, thoughts and feelings he has known and experienced over the years. Every song, (including the ones he didn’t write) are performed with love and respect for the melody and lyric. The Scotty Wright Quintet glides smoothly, swinginly, from one song, one mood, one groove to another, inviting listeners along for a very satisfying ride. The quintet musicians are: Pete Carney - saxophone, Pablo Arencibia - piano, Joe Porter - bass, Stephen Bucholtz - drums, and Scotty Wright, voice.
