GRAMMY Award Winner Tom Scott to Perform with the Reno Jazz Orchestra
Three-time GRAMMY award winner and legendary saxophone artist Tom Scott will perform with the 17-piece Reno Jazz Orchestra on Sunday, February 12 at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR).
Throughout his career to date, Scott has secured thirteen GRAMMY nominations - three of which he won. He was also the founding member of the Blues Brothers Band and Musical Director of the 68th Academy Awards in 1996, several Emmy Awards telecasts from 1996 to 2007, and the People's Choice Awards telecasts. Scott was also an integral part of many of singer and songwriter Joni Mitchel’s legendary tunes and a showcase artist in the Motown documentary “Standing in the Shadows of Motown”.
The concert is held at UNR’s Nightingale Hall and starts at 2:00 p.m. Ticket are $25 for General Admission and $35 for Premier Reserved seats and on sale at RenoJazzOrchestra.org or at the concert right before the show.
The Reno Jazz Orchestra is a 17-piece contemporary big band based in Northern Nevada. The band was formed in 1997 by musicians who have performed with acts such as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Presley, Natalie Cole and Luciano Pavarotti.
Members have traveled with the likes of Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Ray Charles, Buddy Rich, and Buddy Morrow.
“The motivation behind the Reno Jazz Orchestra is the desire to create great music in the grand tradition of the jazz big band stage performance,” said music director, Chuck Reider. “It's a motivation based upon the simple love of that grand sound and the rush and wonder of playing 17 pieces to a packed house.”
