I've read his basses are all privately made by him. An insane bassist and luthier. I saw him at the Royal Festival Hall in the late 90's with Spyrogyra. His solos stole the show. What a beast. He doesn't get enough credit unfortunately. Don't know why.

This is one of the best bass solos I have ever heard!!! I truly loved that! I felt every note he played! The groove was killin and the breaks were clever! That is also the me of the best slap sounds I have ever heard as well! His bass sounds damn good and so smooth and clear!! The percussiveness of the bass really shines and cuts through as well as Marcus’ sound. ❤️

I grew up in the Maryland area and as a fellow musician and bassist, I have not only heard Scott play with many folks around the DMV, but can also call him a friend. Manys a time, Scott came out to support a band I was with, the Atomic Brothers (90s) in and around the DMV. He'd just show up, hang out and talk music and bass. I remember when many of us hadn't seen Scott for months back in 1991. One day I ran into him at Washington Music Center and he told me the story of how he got the gig with Spyro Gyra. He was incredibly grateful for the opportunity and certainly has made the most of it, as evidenced by his being an integral part of Spyro Gyra for over 30 years now! Scott's skill sets and playing may not be for everybody, but at the end of the day, they're more than good enough to have him with Spyro Gyra and certainly others. How about we celebrate others and encourage each other, even in our differences? If we're really listening, we can all learn something....

Spyro Gyra was the first jazz electric jazz band I ever saw live, at West Valley Junior College in California. In the 1970’s.

I succeeded and will never forget their name or that moment in my life !

It's one thing to come up with a bass solo, practice it for weeks and then play it so cleanly on the umpteenth take that you can publish it on your YT channel. But it's a WHOLE DIFFERENT THING, on stage, surrounded by absolutely great musicians, improvising a bass solo, absolutely flawless, and creating a sound like a tank jumping through a meadow of flowers ...
