Solo piano, duos, trios, quartets and quintets with vocalist are available. Performing the music of Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter; the latin influences of Jobim; and the be-bop of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonius Monk, the Rusty Scott Quartet plays a wide variety of jazz music from the 30's to the 90's by some of Jazz' finest composers. Audiences consistently give us great feedback about how much they enjoy the group: "The Rusty Scott quartet set the perfect mood for our wedding." "I selected your band after auditioning hundreds of musical acts." "You were wonderful we received many compliments for our guests." "Very classy indeed." People always enjoy our music because they recognize many of their favorite songs, and because we cover a wide range of tempos and grooves to keep pace with the evening--soft ballads and smooth bossa novas during cocktails and dinner; fox-trots, cha-chas, rhumbas, and fast paced swing for dancing; and tasteful, sophisticated jazz standards for listening and relaxing. The Rusty Scott Quartet places an emphasis on playing creative arrangements that are easily recognizable in a standard jazz repertoire ensuring that listeners will be entertained throughout their performance. While all members are involved in various individual projects, unlike most jazz bands that can be found on the function circuit, the Rusty Scott Quartet is made up of professional musicians that have been playing together for nearly five years. The joy that the core members share in playing together the music that they love is easily passed on to their audiences, whatever the venue. Each performance is an event in itself that transforms a simple setting into either an elegant, classy affair or a swinging, "bop til' you drop" ballroom. Rusty performs at an average of 35 weddings alone each year, either as a solo pianist or with the Rusty Scott Quartet. The group has performed at countless other corporate and private functions in addition to their club, radio and recording schedules making them one of the hardest working jazz bands in New England.
