A Los Angeles Keyboardist’s Not Lost Weekend in “Last Vegas”

November 4, 2013 by Scott Healy No Comment

A Nice Rig on a Dream Gig Last June, a weekend recording session of Mark Mothersbaugh’s music for the recently released film “Last Vegas” yielded over 30 cues–just about the entire score to the movie. 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…

October 4, 2013 by Scott Healy No Comment

<ed: In the print edition the author mistakenly describes me as “Musical Director on the Conan O’Brien Show on network TV.” We all know that my good friend, the brilliant Jimmy V is the MD, and Conan is decidedly not on network TV.

Keyboard Magazine “Hudson City Suite” Review by Jon Regen

September 11, 2013 by Scott Healy No Comment

Scott Healy: Triple Threat Jazz Composer / Arranger / Keyboardist …Healy reveals himself to be a composer of serious sonic merit. Keyboardist, composer and arranger Scott Healy surprises with this seductive new release. Best known for his blues-tinged keyboard work in Conan O’Brien’s Basic Cable Band, here Healy reveals himself to be a composer of serious sonic merit. The album blends Healy’s unique brand of boisterous band grooves and horn-laden harmonies, while simultaneously saluting familiar forbears such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Gil Evans. Check out Healy’s “Summit Avenue Conversation” for an example of this triple threat in action….

One More Rock Organ Lesson from Keyboard Magazine

I think I recorded the audio examples on the set during a union break.
