About the Artist
Jazz vocalist Cindy Scott has a warm, sexy tone, clear presentation of lyrics, and a refreshing attention to melody. One can hear the influences of several well-known jazz artists like Sarah Vaughn and Karrin Allyson, sweetened by by a light touch of Ricki Lee Jones. Scott either swings hard or floats dreamily, depending on the song. Her passion for this music comes out in her delivery and endears her to her listeners.

Scott was born into a family of musicians. She studied classical flute and attended Louisiana State University on a music scholarship. Then, as an exchange student in Germany, she discovered jazz. While studying abroad, Scott began singing with a German trio in the jazz cellars of the Black Forest. German native Thomas Gunther, now pianist for the Chicago Jazz Ensemble, remembers working with Scott fondly. "Her timing and phrasing was that of an old, experienced jazz singer, very uncommon for someone only 21 years old. Both the instrumentalists and the audience alike loved her immediately for her charming stage presence, her wonderful voice, and her powerful interpretations of jazz standards."

After returning to the US, Scott continued singing. She sang with the Louisiana State University big band and also performed at jazz venues around town. She eventually attended the University of South Carolina and performed with their big band at the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague, Netherlands.

Since moving to Houston in 1995, Scott has been an active part of Houston's jazz scene, playing frequently at all of the top venues. She is currently pursuing regional, national and international touring opportunites, which are certain to come soon, given her amazing talent and obvious love for the genre.

Product Description
Cindy Scott's debut CD "should make anyone take notice," says veteran jazz recording artist Roseanna Vitro. This warm vocal compilation of several well-known standards along with a few lesser known ones will make anyone who appreciates jazz vocals wonder where this delightful singer has been. If you like contemporary jazz artists like Diana Krall or Karrin Allyson, or even the traditional greats like Ella and Sarah, you will appreciate Cindy's CD, the first of hopefully many more to come.
