Motown Summer!

This summer, June 30 - September 14th, 2007, Tim was in Atlantic City singing and playing with a first class production at Bally's on the Boardwalk titled "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing - A Celebration of 50 Years of Motown". The fast paced, energetic show included a cast of 18 people--7 singers, 7 band members and 4 dancers. The show's producers are hoping to bring the show back home to Las Vegas for an extended run.
 

Tim on the airwaves!

Tim recently appeared on award winning DJ Leslie Fleury's radio show, "Blues Odyssey". She played lots of Tim's music and the projects he's involved with, including Zen Blues Quartet, his upcoming solo CD, Cordle-Scott Band, Steve Ferrone's Farm Fur and others. Tim performed 2 songs live in the studio and generally had a blast. Perhaps Leslie will invite him back!

Tim with Steve Ferrone at NAMM!

Tim performed at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. on January 19th, 2007 at the Sabian Cymbals annual show, Sabian Live!, with veteran studio/concert drummer Steve Ferrone. Steve's band, Farm Fur, has a new CD out. The band featured vocals by the legendary Alex Ligertwood of Santana and Brian Auger fame and Bernard Fowler, of Living Color, Herbie Hancock and the Rolling Stones.

Here's a review of the live performance of Steve Ferrone's Farm Fur band at The Mint in West L.A, including a photo of Tim with Steve! This gig, a warm-up for their amazing show for Sabian Live! at the Winter NAMM show--both shows were dedicated to the memory of world renowned saxophonist Michael Brecker and the Mint show featured a special cameo appearance by his brother, trumpeter Randy Brecker.

Steve Ferrone's "Farm Fur" All-Star Band: Seasoned session cats load up on
groove-ladened tunes and deliver the goods.

Web: www.drumrollrecords.com/stfe1.html ; www.tompetty.com

The Players: Steve Ferrone, drums, Bernard Fowler, vocals; Alex Ligertwood, vocals, guitar; Miles Joseph, guitar; Tim Scott, bass, vocals; Dean Gant, keyboards; Tom Saviano, sax; Jason Weber, sax; Randy Brecker, trumpet.

Material: Premier session cats and top-of-the-line sidemen make Steve Ferrone’s “Farm Fur” All-Star Band a class act. Like a lot of groups that consist of seasoned musicians, Farm Fur explores jazz variations, soulful blues and groove-laden songs. In fact, the grooves are so deep, the crowd is compelled to move and sway. And, though the jam-filled songs may not be radio friendly, hearing them live is a special treat. Indeed, it’s a pleasure that every music lover should experience.

Musicianship: With players that have graced stages with the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Santana, Beyonce, Eric Clapton, Outkast, Madonna, David Bowie and on and on, the musicianship is nothing short of extraordinary. Each player enjoys at least one solo moment that highlights his chops and unfathomable skills. And although, at times, those chops may seem a little familiar they, nonetheless, are soul stirring.

Performance: One of the most remarkable things about players of this caliber is the way they communicate while onstage. With just a nod, or an almost imperceptible movement, they let each other know when a break was coming and when it was their turn to shine. This preternatural ability obviously comes from years of experience, but it’s something that every band should try to emulate. The result is a sound so tight there is never a moment when the energy wanes or the groove dissipates.

Summary: Steve Ferrone put this band together for one simple reason –– these guys love playing. And their love of music is not only inspiring, it’s enchanting. A band like Farm Fur doesn’t play that often because their work schedules are so demanding. But, when they do play a local gig, you would be doing yourself a large favor to catch them.
