Scott Detweiler plays Los Angeles. Add to My Profile | More Videos MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF RECORDING ARTS AND SCIENCES ARE REMINDED TO CONSIDER CASTING THEIR GRAMMY VOTE FOR SCOTT DETWEILER'S "MADE IN NEW ORLEANS" IN THE CATEGORY OF BEST CONTEMPORARY BLUES ALBUM. SCOTT DETWEILER is an American composer and lyricist born and raised in New Orleans. He began his musical journey at age 17 by studying guitar. He then went on to study jazz guitar at Loyola University (New Orleans) with Bill Huntington and then music composition at the University of New Orleans. It was at the universities that he would also first learn to read music and begin to sing, as a member of opera choruses and master chorales. AFTER LEAVING THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS he studied orchestration as a private pupil of Ellis Marsalis in Ellis' home. He also studied writing and arranging for strings with Henry Mancini and Albert Harris, and writing for film and television with Earle Hagen. He studied songwriting with Harriet Schock and studied lyric writing with K. Parker at the BMI Institute in West Hollywood. HIS COMPOSITIONAL STYLE, whether it be his extensive catalog of songs, or his diverse body of classical compositions, is a unique blend of jazz and blues and is built on rhythms indiginous to New Orleans. Even his classical compositions are full of soul and are considered to be truly "American Music". THE ENERGY AND SOULFULNESS OF HIS GUITAR playing has been compared to B.B. King, Albert King, and Dickie Betts, while his vocal soulfulness is often compared to the range of emotion known in the vocal styles of Bobby "Blue" Bland, Aaron Neville and Elton John. SCOTT IS A COMPELLING PERFORMER, singing and playing the guitar, whether he is playing solo or with his full band. HAS BAND HAS SHARED THE BILL with many bands including The Neville Brothers, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and The Allman Brothers Band and in addition to performing and living in the U.S. he has performed in Europe and Asia. His symphonic premiere was with the New Orleans Symphony and his compositions have been honored by the Utah Composer's Guild, The Nashville Music City Song Festival and the Billboard Music Awards. HE WORKED WITH several dance companies as a collaborating composer and as composer in residence. Most notably would be his compositions for the Gabriel Masson Dance Company of New York for the 2000 - 2001 Season. He composed his first two string quartets and other important chamber dance works for their choreography. Scott is a prolific composer (see "Principle Works" page of his website) and an active performer, both solo (on hollow body jazz guitar and vocals) and with his band. FROM HIS , "Slumber Tongue" CD, a collection of instrumental pieces featuring a variety of work, from solo concert pieces to full band compositions that brings Scott's all around guitar work to light for the first time (establishing him as a brilliant soloist, both on electric and acoustic guitars), to his "Between Lake and River", the haunting concept CD tribute to New Orleans, the diversity and range of style displayed by his CD catalog exhibits artistic depth, versatility and vision that is an uncommon rarity. DETWEILER MADE LOS ANGELES MUSIC HISTORY ON OCTOBER 6, 2007, being the first blues artist/composer known ever to premiere a chamber piece and perform with his blues ensemble in the same concert setting. Following a performance of two pieces by Mozart, Detweiler's "The Sun Will Rise" (for string quartet and alto saxophone, composed in July 2007 about the Katrina disaster in New Orleans), premiered at the 430 seat Madrid Theater in Los Angeles. The audience gave the 4 movement, 20 minute piece, an enthusiastic standing ovation. After a brief intermission Detweiler, backed by Ed Cogan on piano, Sam Nee on bass, Paul Van De Riet on drums and Larry McRae on saxophones and flute (McRae also played the alto saxophone in "The Sun Will Rise"), took the stage for over an hour, performing selections from his 2008 VAVV Records Release, MADE IN NEW ORLEANS. SCOTT DETWEILER HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED TO COMPOSE A NEW CHAMBER PIECE for solo violin. It will be included in the soundtrack of an upcoming independent film. IN 2008 DETWEILER WAS AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF CONGRESSIONAL RECOGNITION by 27th District California Congressman Brad Sherman in “recognition for the his great work in entertaining the public”, after watching his performance opening for the New Orleans Preservation Hall Jazz Band at Warner Park. ALSO IN SEP 2008 BALLET MEMPHIS PREMIERED "SHE DIDN'T STAY LONG", A NEW BALLET BY DETWEILER AND CHOREOGRAPHER GABRIEL MASSON (also from New Orleans) that is an expression of the effect that the Katrina Disaster has had (and continues to have) on their own emotions and the lives of their families and friends. IN ADDITION TO PRODUCING other artists, performing, and teaching private students, he is a free-lance music journalist. An archive of his reviews of CDs, live concerts, short films and original poetry can be found at www.helium.com. FOR MORE INFORMATION, log onto www.detweilermusic.com.
