What They Say
Scott is always at the crossroads where great music occurs. Whether at the helm of his desk as the engineer at his studio, or at his bass for his own recording projects or just about any musical environment. He is always in control and a trusted voice.
Scott proves that the bass can do things few attempt — inspiring music from just one instrument. He has mastered a niche of tasteful music, which deserves everyone's attention.
Scott's compositions are perfect musical short stories with ingenious narratives that propel and animate his own virtuosity and that of his stellar companions.
Scott has assembled some of the finest creative musicians in the world to participate in this tour de force musical journey. Not only did Scott perform, record and produce this music but he also composed most of the songs.
The murderer's row of fusioneers that bassist/composer Scott Petito assembled for Rainbow Gravity is both exciting and foreboding... while the chops are indeed fearsome, the album turns out surprisingly tight, thanks in no small part to Petito's writing.
Petito's been quietly amassing an awesome body of fine work, practically creating his own sub-genre of intelligent adult music.
