Scott's CD

"Scott Walker projects an easy confidence that allows him to literally wrap himself around a collection of great material."
[RPM Magazine]

"A full, rich voice" [ShowMusic Magazine]

“The tradition of classic Big Band crooners is alive and well” [mainlybigbands.com]

It's an unbeatable combination: a full orchestra accompanying a dynamic vocalist in a selection of legendary melodies.

In preparing this CD, Scott enlisted the aid of some highly respected artists:

The arrangements were written by Jerry Toth, a veteran composer/arranger and member of the Boss Brass; and by Berthold Carriere, the Music Director of the Stratford Festival of Canada.
The engineering chores were handled by Phil Sheridan, a veteran producer/engineer, who won the coveted Grammy Award for producing the Boss Brass album All in Good Time.
A 19-piece Big Band, augmented by a 21-piece string section, has provided a sound unrivalled in Canada. Soloists include some internationally-known Canadian musicians, including Moe Koffman, Peter Appleyard, Ed Bickert and Guido Basso [Click here to view the orchestra].
