About Scotty Wright:



Scotty Wright, jazz vocalist, has decided now is the time to sing what’s Wright. Scotty is a songwriter and will present several of his own original compositions. So what’s left? The time-honored classics, and jazz standards, of course! The treasure trove of melodies that have withstood the test of time. 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.

About The Carl Fischer:



Trumpeter Carl Fischer and his Sunshine City Brass headline this March outing for the Tampa Jazz Club. Fischer, who most recently was the featured trumpet player in hit maker Billy Joel’s band, got an early start with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and, later, became the musical director for trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson.

He’s also collaborated with Chick Corea, Sting, Diana Ross, and Paul Simon among many others. Fischer’s band, The Sunshine City Brass formed during the pandemic. They offer a blend of “northern and southern grooves, embodying the spirit of the Big Easy with a Big Apple energy.”
