Dave Scott and The New Slide Quartet

A swinging rhythm section with Dave out front, the New Slide Quartet taps into the cool jazz period with a whole new sound.   Some funk. Some latin. Some R & B and a whole lotta groove.  Dave leads the band with his trombone and vocals.  He credits his smooth sound to his friend and mentor, the legendary Bill Watrous.

With vocals compared to Sinatra, Torme and Chet Baker,  Dave has been a featured guest artist with Orchestra Nova under the direction of conductor Jung-Ho Pak.

Dave's original compositions have been featured on both radio and television and span the full spectrum from straight-ahead to samba,  calypso to cool, smooth jazz to hip hop, with lyrics that speak of life, love and a little weather.

The New Slide Quartet is a favorite at clubs like Croce's in downtown San Diego and The Grill (formerly Elario's) atop Hotel La Jolla. 

The rhythm section has included some of the greats:  Piano:  Irving Flores, Joshua White, Mikan Zlatkovich, Tommy Gannon, John Opferkuch, Anthony Smith, Lynn Willard.  Bass:  Rob Thorsen, Danny Weller, Justin Grinnell, Mark Hunter, Gunnar Biggs. Drums;  Kevin Koch, Duncan Moore, Tommy Aros, Richard Sellers, Russell Bizette, Tim McMahon, Toby Ahrens.
