David Thorne Scott

SOMERVILLE, MA — Vocalist David Thorne Scott of Somerville, Massachusetts is releasing his first video album, entitled “The Living Room Sessions”. Individual videos are being released on YouTube and Facebook every other Friday until the entire eleven-song project is completed in June.

"Excellent performance from all, and the audience was really appreciative of the musicianship!" -John Baboian, Mosesian Center for the Arts

Next installment in "The Living Room Sessions" is "Distractions", a lovely tune by Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney. Mark Shilansky on piano, Eric Byers on guitar, Dave Jamrog on video and audio.

Starting to release new videos, recorded in the intimacy of my living room! "The Living Room Sessions" kicks off with a jazz standard, There Will Never Be Another You.

The Vintage Vocal Quartet is the first ever "Artist Member" of American Performing Arts Professionals, can you believe it? We will be heading down to NYC next week to partake in the annual conference of APAP. If you're at APAP too, give me a buzz at thornewood@gmail.com or 617-833-3931.

Working with pianist/arranger Mark Shilansky to develop a new show for the Vintage Vocal Quartet, a tribute to Leonard Cohen. Demo tracks will be available soon!

Going into the studio today with my peeps the Vintage Vocal Quartet to record some of our holiday pops repertoire. Shout outs go to Gerhard Guter for realizing the awesome orchestrations of Kenji Kikuchi, as well as my former student and a cappella maven Tim Bongiovanni who will be producing the vocal session. His new studio is amazing!

There are hundreds and hundreds of versions of My Funny Valentine on Spotify. I looked through them and found what I thought were the most important vocal versions and put them in this playlist. You're welcome!

Rodgers and Hart would be proud!

The Vintage Vocal Quartet now plays dances! We put together a modified set list to satisfy lindy-hoppers for shows at the Dance Hall in Kittery and at the Watertown Arsenal Arts center. We had to tweak our set because a few of our ballads were too slow and a few of our uptempo songs were too fast, but we have been getting advice from dancers, as well as drummers and other sources like http://www.dancing.org/music.guidelines.html
