LYNNE SCOTT was born into a musical family. Her mother, Teresa, taught piano, and her father, Bruce, was a gifted clarinetist who led an orchestra on radio for many years and was a well known music educator. Her four brothers are all musical, one of them a highly regarded west coast jazz and classical trombonist.
Lynne is blessed with perfect pitch, and can “sight sing” virtually any music set before her. Her versatility and professionalism have made her a favorite with musicians and audiences alike. Although Lynne’s first love is performing “standard pop” (Gershwin, Kern, Berlin , Porter, etc.) she is quite an adaptable singer and can swing with the best of them. She has a repertoire of literally hundreds of songs and continually adds to it, and (band leaders take note) actually KNOWS the keys she sings them in.
Lynne has appeared regularly on Midwest radio and TV, and has played most of the top venues in the area. She appeared on the Len Mink Show, the Nick Clooney Show, the Vivian Della Chiesa Show, The Bob Braun Afternoon Show, and the 1180 Club Radio show. She spent ten years singing with the Teddy Raymore Quartet and was featured “girl singer” with the Pete Wagner Orchestra/Band for several years, still appearing with them occasionally. She also sang with the vocalese group “Close Company” for three years.
From 2003 to 2011, Lynne appeared weekends with the highly acclaimed “Frank Vincent Trio” at the Celestial in the Incline Lounge at Highland Towers , atop Mount Adams until Frank took a leave of absence due to illness. She can now be seen regularly at the Cincinnati Netherland Hilton Hotel in the Palm Court Lounge with the Jim Hart Trio.
Born in Cincinnati, Dan Karlsberg has been studying and playing piano since the age of 5 with an emphasis on classical music and jazz. Karlsberg is an active performer, composer, and teacher. He performs regularly with his owns groups, The Dan Karlsberg Group and The ‘Nati 6.
In July 2007, the Dan Karlsberg Group released their first album, The Adventures of the Dan Karlsberg Group, for which Marc Medwin in Cadence Magazine comments:
“This is a group functioning on the highest level of communication and commitment… they tackle freedom and restraint with equal vigor, convincing on whatever musical front they choose.”
Karlsberg has since released two more albums as leader, Mission to Mars and Other Short Stories (2010), and The ‘Nati 6 (2015). The latter features a group created by Karlsberg to perform his original music and to showcase the talent and traditions of the Cincinnati jazz scene. The ensemble is made up of veterans on the jazz scene today. In 2015, CityBeat magazine nominated The ‘Nati 6 for “album of the year”.
