Grammy Nomination for Best Instrumental Composition for “Koko on the Boulevard”

December 9, 2013 by Scott Healy 1 Comment

“Koko on the Boulevard” from “Hudson City Suite” receives a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Composition I’m thrilled, honored and quite humbled to be nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition for my piece “Koko on the Boulevard”, track #8 from Hudson City Suite . I was also happy to learn that many of my friends and colleagues from LA and around the country received nominations in composition, large ensemble, arranging, producing, and engineering. It’s truly inspiring to see how many indie artists are receiving nominations in a business that traditionally has been dominated by record labels (not…

Gabriel Judet-Weinshel’s short film on Scott Healy’s “Hudson City Suite”

December 5, 2013 by Scott Healy

NYC filmmaker Gabriel Judet-Weinshel directed and edited this dramatic and compelling video, which is compiled from interviews, live session and location footage.

I was a memorable project not just because it’s cue after cue of me soloing over slamming grooves with a live band (really fun), but because it was live R n B band on an indie movie. The director, a musician himself, wanted a funky score with an old school vibe, and that’s what Mark gave him, with our help. I saw the movie last…

An Open Letter to NARAS Members

October 18, 2013 by Scott Healy 1 Comment

I’m just about finished with my ballot, and I feel like I’m in sixth grade having just slogged through a standardized test. While I really would appreciate your consideration for my Jazz Ensemble and Composition entry, tonight I have a new agenda.

There now are an enormous number of entries in many categories, and managing one’s social network is a full-time job. Yet, as you probably know, some categories were merged with others,…
