  • Dave and Mark perform together in different musical situations, but one they particularly enjoy is the duo format. They blow up audience expectations of "a singer plus an accompanist" by incorporating vocal harmony as well as additional instruments such as percussion, bass and trumpet. They view varied musical styles — including classical, folk, theater, the Beatles, and (of course) 80’s pop music — through a jazz lens.

  • SWINGING HARMONIES OF THE BIG BAND ERA
    The 1930s and 1940s hit the sweet spot when swing music, jazz music, and pop music were all one and the same. It was a time when every radio blared out music that was danceable yet sophisticated.
    The Vintage Vocal Quartet is dialed in to the sound of groups like Glenn Miller’s Modernaires, the Nat King Cole Trio, the Andrews Sisters, and Tommy Dorsey’s Pied Pipers, as well as singers like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jo Stafford.
    These four vocalists double on piano, bass, guitar and trumpet, so you’ll hear the full, rich style of the big band era in a tight little package. 
    The VVQ has been delighting concert audiences, lindy hoppers, and swanky private events all over New England. Bring your dancing shoes and get ready to swing!

  • Elegant room, wonderful hosts.  It would be worth the admission price just to go into this salon and hang out for an hour.  But add to this some music provided by DYAD, the duo of David Thorne Scott (vocals) and Mark Shilansky (piano), and now you have a special night out.  Jazz, imaginative reworkings of pop songs, and creative original songs.  Taylor house is such an intimate venue that the performers are close enough to touch (but please wait until the show is over to do so).

  • After months of exhilarating work, the new CD is finished! "Hopeful Romantic" is a jazz/pop mixture of original songs that is unique. Some early feedback has compared it to Jamie Cullum or Donald Fagan. There will be a CD release party April 12 at Ryles Jazz Club in Inman Square. Come celebrate with us and buy a copy of the CD. If you love the music, please support us by buying additional copies for your friends. Thursday, April 12 Ryles Jazz Club 8:30 p.m.-midnight $12 212 Hampshire Street Cambridge, MA http://www.ryles.com/event.cfm?event_id=6280 This night will be an epic three sets. Set 1 will be music from "DYAD", my 2007 recording of duets with the utterly original pianist Mark Shilansky. Set 2 will be music from the new CD, "Hopeful Romantic." I'll be playing piano and keyboards, while Eric Byers (guitar), Phil McGowan (drums) and Greg Loughman (acoustic bass) will be rocking out and singing background vocals. Set 3 will be all of the above musicians plus a special guest or two in an all-star jazz session. If you're there until midnight, you can sing Happy Birthday to me in four-part harmony. The best birthday present you could give is just coming to the show. I'd love to see every one of you at Ryles on April 12. It will be a night that we won't soon forget.

  • My first love, as you all know, is singing jazz, and tomorrow I will be performing at Ryles Jazz Club with some of my favorite musicians. Christine Fawson will be singing and playing trumpet, Mark Shilansky will play piano, Greg Holt will be on acoustic bass, and Steve Langone will be manning the drumkit. This will be a show comprised largely of standards. Christine and I feel like old souls when we get together and talk about the great songs by Gershwin, Porter, Kern and the other masters of 20th-century music. We get a little misty-eyed when we think of the musicians who created this style before we were born. So we decided to devote an evening to them. No fusion, no pop crossover, no too-hip-for-the-room arrangements, just quality swingtime. (Okay, maybe we'll throw in a bossa or two to mix things up a little.) This IS your grandfathers jazz show. Please come join us, won't you? And be kind to the bartenders-- they can make an old-fashioned, you know.

Admission is kept at an affordable $10, and several hundred singers from around the Boston area come each week, many of whom have been participating for years. In addition to the singing and learning opportunities enjoyed by the audience members, Summer Sing has also provided performance opportunities to many young soloists, a number of whom have gone on to professional singing careers.
