Scott Amendola (born February 6, 1969) is an American drummer from the San Francisco Bay Area. His styles include jazz, blues, groove, and rock.[1][2]
Amendola is originally from New Jersey and studied at the Berklee School of Music in Boston.[3] After relocating to California, he rose to popularity in the 1990s as a member of the band T.J. Kirk with Charlie Hunter, Will Bernard, and John Schott. Their second album, If Four Was One, received a Grammy Award nomination.[4] Amendola has led his own bands and trios, which have included musicians such as Nels Cline, Jenny Scheinman, Jeff Parker, John Shifflett,[5] Ben Goldberg, and Devin Hoff.[1] He has recorded with Pat Martino, Jim Campilongo, G.E. Stinson, and Tony Furtado, among others. He is an original member of the Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core and has been a session percussionist for Cris Williamson, Noe Venable, Carla Bozulich, and Odessa Chen, to name a few.[6]
In 2011, Amendola premiered his orchestral work Fade to Orange, performed in conjunction with the Oakland East Bay Symphony as one of their New Visions/New Vistas premieres. The drummer was joined by Nels Cline and Trevor Dunn.[7]
