Praised by The New York Times as a guitarist who “has begun to make waves” and a musician who has “exploratory yet melodic sensibilities, serious compositional ambitions, and cohesive looseness against complex subtleties,” guitarist Scott DuBois has spent the last fifteen years performing internationally at jazz clubs and festivals. Scott moved from the Chicago area to New York City in 1996 to be involved in the center of jazz and improvised music. During this time he has performed and/or recorded with musicians such as David Liebman, Chris Potter, and Tony Malaby, while also obtaining his Masters of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music. In 2002, Scott performed his original compositions at Carnegie Hall and in 2005 he was selected as a semi-finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. Scott has received critical acclaim from such prestigious publications as the New York Times, Jazz Times, All About Jazz, and Cadence Magazine as well as many other publications in The United States and Europe for his individual style of playing and composing.
The Scott DuBois Quintet began in 2000, performing Scott's original compositions. In 2002, Scott DuBois recorded his debut CD Monsoon for the Soul Note jazz record label with saxophonist David Liebman. The same group recorded their second CD Tempest in June of 2005 which was released in January 2007, also on the Soul Note record label. In May 2007, after a two week tour through Europe with his group, Scott DuBois will record his third CD for the Between the Lines record label which will be released in late 2007.
Scott DuBois currently resides in New York City and can be heard regularly at such legendary jazz clubs as the 55 Bar as well as at many jazz festivals and clubs internationally.
