Michael Franks

"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. Check out his fine piccolo bass solos. This project is bursting with creativity."

Bassist, Pat Metheny Group

"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 tribute projects or just about any musical environment. He is always in control and a trusted voice. He has shown that he is comfortable in any genre and is a great spirit and encouragement to the creation of creative music in any style."

"A gorgeously recorded disc... Petito's sense of pace and proportion is nearly perfect."
Maine Public Radio

"The murderer's row of fusioneers that bassist/composer Scott Petito assembled for Rainbow Gravity is both exciting and foreboding. It implies great playing and—not unrelatedly—big, self-indulgent spotlights for the heavyweights. But while the chops are indeed fearsome, the album turns out surprisingly tight, thanks in no small part to Petito's writing."
