Scott Petito’s “Rainbow Gravity” Features All Star Jazz Musicians

Scott Petito: Rainbow GravityComposer, producer, engineer, and bassist Scott Petito has released Rainbow Gravity, a new album featuring an all-star cast of musicians. His music comes to life thanks to saxophonist Bob Mintzer trumpeter Chris Pasin, guitarist David Spinozza, keyboardists Rachel Z, David Sancious and Warren Bernhardt, vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, and percussionist Bashiri Johnson. Petito also got to live out the bass player’s dream by recruiting drummers Jack DeJohnette, Peter Erskine, Simon Phillips, and Omar Hakim.

Fellow bassist Mark Egan weighed in on the album, saying, “Scott has assembled some of the finest creative musicians in the world to participate in this tour de force musical journey. Not only did Scott perform, record and produce this music but he also composed most of the songs. Check out his fine piccolo bass solos. This project is bursting with creativity.”
