He communicates to audiences with sincerity and ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in the mid sixties and nurtured in the Mile High City (Denver), this young veteran left for Indiana University and subsequently moved on to Cincinnati, Ohio. Still feeling a pull from farther East, he, like so many other musicians, migrated to New York City and has remained ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr. Wendholt is a much in demand artist and has found himself in a variety of settings. He has recorded and\/or worked extensively with artists including Kenny Garrett, Cyrus Chestnut, Christian McBride, Don Braden and Bruce Barth. For nearly 7 years, Scott found a home with Vincent Herring's quintet. This highly acclaimed band has recorded three albums, including Folklore-Live At The Village Vanguard. He has toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe South America, Africa and Japan with these bands as well as others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo his credit, Scott has been recorded on more than 100 CD's. However, he is recognized as a leader as well. His second recording for the Doubletime Jazz label was released in the spring of 2000, following three successful Scott Wendholt offerings on Criss Cross. This CD has received much favorable press including a 4 star review in Downbeat. Look for his most recent release with a new quartet he co-leads with Adam Kolker on tenor saxophone. The recording features Victor Lewis on drums and Ugonna Okegwo on bass in a \"chord-less\" quartet setting with all new music. (Fresh Sound)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Big Band Scene\" has also sought out this trumpeter for his versatility and formidable abilities. His list of credits include: The Carnegie Hall Big Band (led by Jon Faddis), the Maria Schneider Orchestra, the Bob Mintzer Big Band and Toshiko Akiyoshi’s Big Band. He currently has the honor of being included in the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (formerly Thad Jones\/Mel Lewis) where he has been a featured soloist for more than 20 years. Mr. Wendholt continues to be in demand on the playing scene as well as in the educational arena. Scott is currently on the faculty at Manhattan School of Music and the Jamey Aebersold summer jazz camps and is in demand as a player\/clinician in many colleges and various other learning institutions around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTICKETS: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eStudent General Admission: $10.00\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Admission: $20.00\u003cbr\u003eSUPPORTER General Admission: $30.00\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThursday, December 3, 2026\u003cbr\u003eDoors: 6:00 PM | Showtime: 7:00 PM\u003cbr\u003eRuntime: ~2 Hours\u003cbr\u003eArt House Productions\u003cbr\u003e345 Marin Boulevard, Jersey City, NJ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eACCESSIBILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt House Productions is committed to accessibility and inclusion.
