A native of Atlanta Georgia, bandleader, bassist/vocalist and ace sideman Scott Glazer learned music early at home from a singing mom, a coronet playing dad and old country grandparents who listened to music of the world including Italian, Hungarian, Yiddish, classical and cantorial recordings. A transistor radio was ever present in his early years.
Starting on bass at the age of 12, Scott received most of his early education on the bandstand in rock, blues and bluegrass groups. After years of playing professionally he had a hunger to receive a formal music education. He studied at the School of Music at Georgia State University attaining his Bachelor's degree. New worlds were opened through this formal education and styles including jazz, classical, theater became a part of his active professional music palette. While attending school, Scott rocked the classics for 4 years as house bassist at the highly successful Buckhead Saloon in Atlanta.
Scott has toured domestically and internationally, performing with artists as diverse as Grammy winning guitarist Earl Klugh, The Last Waltz Ensemble, Dr. Dan Matrazzo, Obie Jessie, Jimmy Hall, Carmine Appice, Liberty DeVito and many others. He has played in the recording studio, for concerts, festivals, tv, radio, nightclubs, religious communities, weddings, motorcycle gangs, theaters and orchestras. Scott says, "My favorite job is the one that I'm on!"
The groups Scott is proud to lead - The Mojo Dojo (jazz, r&b and soul) and Mojo Recovery Squad (classic rock) - are in demand in Atlanta and travel for engagements regionally.
