"What a great evening at Pearl’s. The Quartet was amazing! As a slightly used trumpet player myself, your versatility, style, and range of solo ideas was masterful - as were Adam, Marcus and Jeff. The swinging quality and originality of the group “blew me away.” Here’s hoping you can keep the “beat” going." - Stan Shaff, sound in space choreographer and creater of AUDIUM sound theatre.

The Dave Scott Jazz Quartet performed at Jazz at Pearl's nite club, 256 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, on Thursday, September 14, 2006, at 8pm and 10pm. It was a great night, successfully promoted the day before with a radio interview on KCSM 91.1 FM, the Bay Area's Jazz Station.
