METROPOLITAN JAZZ ORCHESTRA: Scott is the co-founder and Executive Director of the Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra (MJO), one of the region’s premier big bands. The MJO is not only an active performing group but their signature education program, MJO Presents, keeps the band busy twice a month at Dazzle Jazz Club. MJO Presents features local high school jazz ensembles in this Downbeat “Top 100 Jazz Clubs” venue. This unique program gives jazz students an opportunity to perform in a world class venue, watch a set by MJO and participate in a grand finale which features both groups performing together! 
  
The MJO is also in high demand for premier black tie and charitable events including recent performances at Wings Over The Rockies Air & Space Museum and Cherokee Castle and Ranch Foundation. 
  
In addition to their MJO Presents program, an active Guest Artist Program (GAP) brings world renowned jazz talent in for Master Classes/clinics, which culminates in an evening collaborative musical performance. Recent guests include Wayne Bergeron, Andy Martin, Eric Marienthal, Carl Saunders and Roger Ingram, and many others!  2014 featured Becky Martin and Denis DiBlasio.
