Best known for hosting "Scott's Place," a jazz radio broadcast that first came to prominence in the late 1960s, he has been on the air at Financial News Network; KFI, KCOP-TV, KNX-TV in Los Angeles and KWXY in Cathedral City, California.[1][2][3][4] Early lifeScott Ellsworth was born Harvey Charles Ellsworth in Plymouth, Pennsylvania in 1927.[5] His family moved to New Jersey where he graduated from Pompton Lakes High School in 1944. His father Harvey Warren Ellsworth, known at that time as a "song plugger" who also played the trumpet and Ellsworth got his first inspiration to go into the arts and entertainment.[5] His father was also a vocalist first at KDKA in Pittsburgh in and then to New York on NBC radio, movie theaters and stage productions.[5] Ellsworth would play the trumpet and cornet during high school up until he entered the Armed Forces. Ellsworth gained great appreciation for trumpeters Bunny Berigan, Roy Eldridge and Dizzy Gillespie Military serviceRight after graduating high school in 1944, Ellsworth attempted to enlist as a pilot in the United States Army Air Forces during WWII but was was not accepted due to eyesight issues. At that point he was given advice to enlist in the United States Merchant Marine; he was accepted. He did his training in Maritime School at Sheepshead Bay, New York and then was assigned on T2 tankers carrying aviation fuel. Ellsworth served with the Merchant Marine in the Pacific Theatre going from island to island starting at Midway and ending in Okinawa. After the war ended in August of 1945, Ellsworth went back to New Jersey in 1946. He was drafted into the United States Air Force and released in 2 years; he went home again entering NYU on the G.I. Bill. Education and NYUAfter Ellsworth's military service during WWII he moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1948 and enrolled in New York University in Manhattan also working as a manager at the NYU Campus Bookstore. He signed up for an easier speech class, Ellsworth was told by the professor he had a very 'professional sounding voice' and should make it 'his profession.' Ellsworth earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in both Psychology and Drama from NYU in 1952. After graduating Ellsworth moved to Montrose, Colorado to pursue his dream in broadcasting after having cut an audio, audition disc for producer Pat Kelly at NBC studios in New York.[5] Career1952-63: Montrose and Denver, ColoradoIn 1952, Ellsworth moved his family to Montrose, Colorado where he worked in numerous capacities as newscaster, program manager and announcer for KUBC at $400 a month.[5][6] They allowed Ellsworth to exercise a number of ideas he had for the station. In 1955 the KUBC owner bought KVOD in Denver and wanted Ellsworth to become program director; he moved to Denver and worked in radio and T.V. broadcasting for the next 5 years for KBTV and KVOD. Ellsworth eventually resigned from his position at KVOD and moved to station KLZ in Denver He would create successful shows such as "Active Radio" which was an on the spot news and events broadcast. He would soon move back to KVOD (now KHOW) as operations manager. Another ownership change and other difficult circumstances with management prompted Ellsworth to eventually move to KALL, an ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City.[5] 1963-65: Salt Lake City, UtahIn 1963 Ellsworth resigned from KHOW and moved his family from Colorado to Salt Lake City where he served as a newscaster and program director at KALL (1963-65).[7][8][9][10] KVOD was an ABC affiliate station, the primary ABC network business manager helped Ellsworth secure the position at KALL at the top of the pay scale (ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City). In 18 months of moving there Ellsworth and his family realized this was not the right position or the location they ultimately desired to live in.[5] 1965-84, Los Angeles, CaliforniaOn June 12, 1965 Ellsworth traveled to Los Angeles looking for work and was doing taping for T.V. commercials, he visited the KFI studio (affiliate of NBC). Ellsworth auditioned for KFI station manager Pat Kelly (not same Pat Kelly from NY). He was offered a job, KFI had just had someone leave the on-air staff.[11] He was given duties of being a staff announcer going from studio to studio doing commercial and station IDs, as well as other on-air responsibilities.[11] Ellsworth moved his family to the Southern California/Los Angeles region settling in the Reseda area in the San Fernando Valley, just north of the KFI, Burbank studios. He first worked for KFI radio and then KCBS-FM in 1973. He later worked for KCOP-TV as a newscaster, sportscaster, writer, announcer and talk show host for several years.[12][13] At KCOP-TV Ellsworth produced, wrote and hosted Daybreak and Who Can I Turn To which were weekly talk shows dealing with financial and medical topics. For 2 years he was the talk show host for KNX-TV's (Los Angeles) Noontime midday show. In 1974 Ellsworth lended his talent to the Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band album Kogun. His voice is heard on the track Memory as part of a narrative and story telling relating to Japanese folklore. Memory is also included on the 2008 Mosaic 3 CD compilation, Toshiko Akiyoshi - Lew Tabackin Big Band.[11] Since 1965, "Scott" Ellsworth used that as his stage name when moving to Los Angeles. It was KFI's station manager Pat Kelly who suggested the name change to Scott. In August of 1984 Ellsworth officially changed his name from "Harvey Charles Ellsworth" to his professional and stage name, "Scott Ellsworth."[14] Acting in movies, T.V., theatre and modelingHis work as an actor started in the early 1970's; Scott Ellsworth's credits in on feature T.V. shows and movies include Girls Are for Loving (1973), The F.B.I.

Late 1980s: Financial News NetworkIn 1983, Financial News Network started to severe ties with its broadcast stations and eventually established a 24-hour feed on cable TV only. At night, it added SCORE (television), a mini-network that aired sports events and news. Ellsworth become the evening news anchor and interviewer for FNN, he broadcasted out of their Santa Monica studio.[16][17] During this time he had moved to Marina Del Rey to be closer to FNN's headquarters. The Network eventually folded financially and sold to CNBC around 1991. Ellsworth would go back to his being a jazz music DJ landing a job with KWXY doing "Scott's Place" music show from 1992 until the station traded hands around 2012.[18] "Scott's Place"Ellsworth is the creator and on-air host of the radio program "Scott's Place" that first aired on KFI-AM 640 in Los Angeles from 1967 through 1974.[19][11] Ellsworth would eventually move the show to KWXY near Palm Springs in the desert during the 1990's for ten years then ending his affiliation with KWXY in 2011 when their music format changed. Ellworth continues his on-line radio program from his own studio, which he initiated in April of 2014.[1][20][21] NBC was trying to finally get out of the radio business in 1968. During this transition their affiliate KFI was losing numerous DJs to include Al "Jazzbeaux" Collins who would eventually move to the San Francisco Bay area.[11] With the sudden exit of Collins, Scott Ellsworth was able to obtain a program time slot. The new show, "Scott's Place", was aired midnight until 4:00 AM daily (M-Sat) and featured jazz and big band music, interspersed with interviews with musicians and entertainers.[11] Due to KFI's strong radio signal and wide distribution, the show was heard across the United States and quickly gained national attention.[11][22]Artists would bring some of their favorite recordings to "Scott's Place" and talk about their music and careers over a 2 to 3 hour period. The broadcast was successful due Ellsworths ability to make the interviewee feel relaxed and in the room with a person knowledgable music and entertainment.[11] Count Basie recorded a song written especially for Ellsworth, Scott's Place composed by Sammy Nestico (recorded on the Basie Have and Nice Day LP) This became the opening theme music for Ellsworth's show.[11] The show is still "Scott's Place" and runs Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday broadcasting jazz locally and internationally through the internet. The list of guests from Ellsworth's many broadcasts is massive, historically significant interviews dating back to the late 1960s. The list of interviews includes artists and personalities such as Stan Kenton, Della Reese, Vic Damone, Woody Herman, Dave Garroway, Duke Ellington, Billy Eckstine, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Al Rinker, June Christy, Mel Torme, Barney Bigard, John Williams, Oscar Peterson, Harry Mills, Louis Jordan and many others.[11][23] Ellsworth also did special broadcasts from the Monterey Jazz Festival, Disneyland's "All That Jazz Weekend" and other live locations featuring jazz artists.[23][24][25][11][26] In mid-1972 Ellsworth was approached by KFI to change his format to popular Rock & Roll, his last guest would be Johnny Mercer.[11] Ellsworth's many in-depth interviews from the show have become an important historical record of jazz musicians and entertainers; the sound files are archived at the American Jazz Institute in Pasadena, California.[11] Jazz venue at Torches WestAs an extension of the radio program, for a short time Ellsworth hosted his own music performance venue at "Torches West" in Woodland Hills starting in June of 1972.[27][11][49] Tex Beneke offered his band for the first weekend and the venue also hosted the bands of Freddy Martin, Charlie Barnett and vocalist Kay Starr. It only latest four weeks due to less than desired attendance and the heavy financial burden taken on by Ellsworth. For starting this venue and his past support of artists, he received the "Friend of the Musicians" honor from the American Federation of Musicians (AF of M) local 47 in Los Angeles due to his continual support for the preservation of jazz.[28][29] Educator, College professorEllsworth has been very dedicated to teaching and was appointed to a position at California State University Long Beach.[11] For numerous years he was an adjunct professor in the Communication and Media studies department teaching broadcast journalism.
