TESTIMONIALS

Featured
"NRS is a magical place. Scott creates an environment where music just happens naturally."

Mercury Rev

Band

Featured
"Scott's bass playing has this incredible warmth and depth. And when he's behind the console, he brings that same musicality to every mix."

Tony Levin

Bassist (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel)

Featured
"Working with Scott is like having a conversation with the music itself. He understands what the song needs before you do."

Jack DeJohnette

Drummer/Composer

Featured
"Scott Petito is one of the most musical human beings I've ever met. His ears are connected directly to his heart."

Dave Brubeck

Jazz Legend

Featured
"Scott's compositions are perfect musical short stories with ingenious narratives that propel and animate his own virtuosity and that of his stellar companions."

Michael Franks

Singer-Songwriter

Featured
"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."

Mark Egan

Bassist, Pat Metheny Group

Featured
"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."

Gil Goldstein

Grammy-winning Arranger & Producer

"Beautifully recorded... Petito's work captures the soul of the music."

Woodstock Times

"Petito brings a rare combination of technical expertise and musical intuition to every project."

Times-Herald Record

"Stunning sonic clarity... one of the finest sounding recordings you'll hear."

Album Network

"A masterful achievement... Petito continues to raise the bar."

Under the Radar Magazine

"Beautifully recorded and quietly triumphant... a work of sustained beauty."

All About Jazz

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

Maine Public Radio

"A little folk, a little pop and more than a little magic!"

Keyboard Magazine

Magazine

"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."
