About Herb Scott
Scott’s official biography identifies him as a Washington, D.C. native, saxophonist, and vocalist. It traces his studies from Duke Ellington School of the Arts to Michigan State University’s jazz program and documents his return to the District’s performance scene.[1]
In 2015 Scott started the weekly Capitol Hill Jazz Jam at Mr. Henry’s. Two years later he formed the Capitol Hill Jazz Foundation, a nonprofit focused on advocacy and resources for D.C. musicians, venues, and music-education programs.[1]
