Hudson City Suite by the 10-piece Scott Healy Ensemble

Nominated for a 2014 Grammy® Award

Best Instrumental Composition: “Koko on the Boulevard”

Hudson City Suite-Scott Healy EnsembleFeaturing Tim Hagans on trumpet, Scott on piano, and an all-star group of LA’s finest, this fifty-six minute work comprises nine thematically-linked original pieces, which together form a true jazz suite. The music is spacious, rich, distinctly modernist yet reverent to the tradition.

Hudson City Suite by the Scott Healy Ensemble is a conceptual and grooving large ensemble jazz tour de force.

What the critics are saying about Hudson City Suite:

Scott Healy’s Hudson City Suite unites past and present musically as well as conceptually, bridging traditional big-band swing with lithe jazz modernism. — Shaun Brady, Downbeat Magazine
Profoundly beautiful… — Bill Milkowski

Healy has conjured up a captivating, amazingly varied and colorful range of sounds and moods with just a tentet here, showing that less can be more in jazz ensembles. — George Kanzler, NYC Jazz Record
There’s nothing more you can say about this session other than it’s a four star showcase of killer playing unfurling a load of beautiful music — Midwest Record Review
