Scott Alberti started playing professionally in parades and big bands around Massachusetts at the age of 15. At 12, however, is when he would first fall in love with the craft through the music of Tommy Dorsey and Carl Fontana. In his senior year of high school, Scott was accepted into the New England Conservatory Youth Jazz Orchestra where he would write and perform his first big band chart. At 18, Scott was accepted into Temple University for Jazz Performance as well as the YoungArts program for Jazz Trombone.

While at Temple, he has had the privilege to work with and learn from musicians such as Terell Stafford, Tim Warfield, Dick Oatts, Rob Edwards, John Swana, Bruce Barth, Jeb Patton, Steve Fidyck, and Justin Faulkner among many others. Alongside his professors at Temple and other musicians in the Philadelphia area he closely studied, and continues to study, with John Allred in New York. At 20, he had the incredible opportunity to travel to Japan and perform with the Ray Kaneko Quintet as well as share the stage with many Japanese musicians in clubs all across Tokyo. Immediately following Japan he was invited out to the Atlantic Brass Quintet Seminar where he would start his journey into classical and chamber music.

In his junior year of college Scott started playing with Temple's premiere Grammy nominated big band, the Temple University Jazz Band directed by Terell Stafford. As a part of the Temple University Jazz Band Scott was able to tour America’s Midwest and perform at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola with organist Akiko Tsuruga in New York City among other opportunities. That same year - as the trombonist of the Tavern Brass Quintet - Scott was accepted into the 2024 American Brass Quintet Seminar hosted through the Aspen Music Festival.
