Scott Harlan More Than Meets The Ear CD

Scott Harlan is a bassist and singer/songwriter who has earned a reputation for having impressive technical abilities over a diverse range of music. In his 17+ years as a professional musician, Scott has performed in such venues as the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, the South-by-Southwest Music Conference, the International Folk Alliance Conference, and many more. He has released 3 CDs on the independent N.A.M.E. Brand Records label, and has received glowing reviews in publications like Jazz Times Magazine, Bass Frontiers Magazine, and more. With influences like Cassandra Wilson, Peter Gabriel, Victor Wooten, Thelonious Monk, and Edwin McCain, Scott\'s music has very much evolved over the years. Where his earlier jazz-funk-fusion albums were more instrumental in nature, his current work is much more vocal and mainstream. It\'s a soulful blend of world, folk, rock, and jazz influences, all culminating into a radio-friendly adult-contemporary mix. Scott\'s unique songwriting is often highlighted by the many different instruments he plays, including electric and upright basses, piano, percussion, guitar and more. He has also scored music for a number of commercials, clients, and independent films.
