Scott Paddock
With a fresh new perspective on contemporary jazz, Scott Paddock, has redefined the sound of the modern saxophonist. His soulful combination of jazz and funk create an explosion of high energy grooves that will make you fall in love with the saxophone all over again. Scott’s resume covers the musical gamut of performance, often times, pushing the perceived limits of the saxophone into unchartered territory. His signature sound could best be described as an aggressively articulated, overtone infused, high energy funk style that is on full display in his original projects. Scott leads a contemporary jazz group, is in high demand as a sideman in the Baltimore/DC area, and has been onstage with everything from rock bands & DJs to symphonies. As a leader, Scott has released two contemporary jazz CDs, both of which have received national airplay, and positive reviews in publications such as “Jazz Times.” Another Day, and From Within are both available at live performances as well as on iTunes.
Scott’s, latest musical offering includes a lush atmospheric electronic project called, Saxotronic, that pairs the saxophone with chilled out, down-tempo edm grooves, beats, loops, and samples. New tracks from this project will be released monthly on YouTube.
