Scott Ambush Band
Deren Blessman • Chris Fischer • Dan Leonard • Scott Ambush
Bassist, composer and luthier, Scott Ambush has been performing since the age of twelve. A native Marylander, Scott began playing electric bass when he discovered that the drum slot in the band he wanted to join was filled. Scott has no regrets. Scott has performed on stage and in studio with a veritable who’s who of the DC/MD/VA music scene; saxaphonists Tim Eyerman, Marshall Keys, and Al Williams, Singer/songwriters, Jon Carroll and Mary Ann Redmond, Guitarists, Carl Filipiak, Alan Scott and Michael Fath, and even the legendary Root Boy Slim. In addition, Scott has played hundreds, if not thousands, of Jazz, Pop, R&B, and Funk gigs throughout the region, especially adept at performing or filling in on short notice.As a member of contemporary jazz super group, Spyro Gyra, he has garnered five Grammy nominations, and has become widely known for his versatility, sensitivity and lyrical playing. Scott is equally at home in a wide range of musical contexts, having played with such luminaries as Stanley Turrentine, Dizzy Gillespie, Omar Hakim and Special EFX. He has backed R&B jazz instrumentalists, Chuck Loeb, Kirk Whalum, and Pieces of a Dream; R&B vocalists Maysa Leak and Angela Bofill, as well as award winning Blues artist Deanna Bogart. Whether doing live dates or recording projects with Deanna Bogart, Jason Miles, Teresa DeSio (Italy), Misato Watanabe (Japan) or renowned Bollywood composer and producer, Sandeep Chowta, Mr. Ambush's varied experiences have served him well. When not touring with Spyro Gyra, Mr. Ambush fronts his own group, and designs, builds and sells the custom bass guitars that carry his name.
