The highly talented vocalist, Scot Albertson, releases another superb CD, “Vibination.” Albertson and his vocal prowess prove to be magnetic as he gracefully sings with stylish expression throughout this entire album. The astounding vocal intensity on, “Incurably Romantic,” is overflowing with heartfelt emotions as Albertson easily sings this song with sheer elegance. Another song, “Miss Manhattan Won’t You Marry Me,” is extremely soulful as it is set to an enticing blend of Bluesy piano and soft drums.

Another album from Scot Albertson is "Fate Revealed By Design” and it is a wonderful collection of serene and pleasant Jazz songs that pivot around Albertson’s wonderfully crooning vocals. "A Man Alone" is a song in which we hear the heartfelt story of a lonely man in which Albertson is accompanied solely by a sweet and charming piano. "You Gotta Taste All the Fruit" is a toe-tapping song in which Albertson sings in almost a Broadway style over playful brass highlights. "It All Depends On You" is a calm, yet upbeat song in which brass, piano, and drums combine for a smooth and silky classic jazz piece. This album is perfect for those who enjoy talented crooners and the art of jazz music. Pick up a copy of "Fate Revealed By Design" today especially if you like refreshing Jazz music featuring strong male vocals.

Scot Albertson’s latest CD, “With Every Note, A Step…,” finds the crooner hitting his stride with a smart and well-conceived collection of tunes that blend influences ranging from lounge to theater. Opening his 15–song album with a fine medley incorporating Hammerstein and Kern’s “The Song Is You” with “As Long As I’m Singing,” while closing with an invigorating, jazz-informed performance of Dan Fogelberg’s “Part of the Plan,” Albertson oozes confidence and the delight of performing. With a jazzman’s knack for the gentle art of swing, covers of Spike Jones’ hit, “Pass the Biscuits, Mirandy,” Frank Loesser’s “I Hear Music,” and Eubie Blake’s “Memories Of You,” sound as joyous - and relevant, as they were decades ago. For fans of the great American songbook, and the type of singing that’s meant to stir the soul, Scot Albertson’s “With Every Note, A Step…” CD continues a musical journey that’s part easy listening and part jazz, but completely terrific.
