Press Quotes:
”This West Coast singer has it all- a full-bodied and supple voice that can dip into the low range or scat at 60mph, great rhythmic sense, taste, and technique to spare. And can he swing!” W. ROYAL STOKES- JazzTimes Magazine
“Scotty Wright is becoming one of only a handful of authentic jazz singers...He is a solid improviser...Whom does Wright sound like? Surprisingly, no one...the most gifted new jazz singer in decades.” HUGH WYATT- New York Daily News

“What impresses me most about his singing is that he never messes around with a tune just for the sake of doing something different; he always has an artistic reason for what he does.
