I attended a NYC Scott tribute show in '97 that featured a Bob Moog lecture/demonstration.

If you like Powerhouse-era Raymond Scott you should definitely check out the similarly very composed but very swinging John Kirby Sextet. Don Byron put out a disk covering tunes from both called Bug Music back in 1996. These days I prefer Kirby's two-disk Complete Columbia and RCA Victor Recordings, lo-fi though it is.

Thanks for the recommendation, there's some stuff on Spotify and it swings hard. 30s and 40s swing just makes me happy!

Speaking of Spotify, there's some Raymond Scott albums on there that I'm not familiar with - "The Uncollected", "Essential Works", and some other later stuff. Anyone have thoughts on these?
