Brought to life, a unique roundtable of GRAMMY-nominated/winning composers/musicians and members of the Raymond Scott family who discuss/express their excitement and gratitude for 'Raymond Scott Reimagined,' an unprecedented collaboration that includes the song "Cutey and the Dragon" which received a 2024 GRAMMY nomination for 'Best Instrumental Composition’ (co-written by Raymond Scott, who started it in 1982 as a sketch to help his granddaughter with her viola lessons, and Gordon Goodwin, who finished it for the album). It represents the first-ever GRAMMY nomination for Raymond Scott, a musical visionary decades ahead of his time (1908-1994).

He eventually teamed up with Goodwin, a Grammy/Emmy-winning composer and arranger, to create the album ('Raymond Scott Reimagined'). Gordon discusses his process of arranging Scott's music and the importance of nurturing the legacy of Raymond Scott.
Stan Warnow and Deb Scott Studebaker, Raymond's son and daughter, express their excitement and gratitude for the project and share recollections of their father.
Kathy Makover, Raymond Scott’s granddaughter (aka "Cutey"), shares her personal experience of being with him in 1982 when he wrote the beginnings of "Cutey and the Dragon" and the joy she feels hearing it brought to life on the album.
Overall, the group reflects on the historical significance of the project and the joy and awe they feel listening to the album. They express their gratitude for the opportunity to work on the project and their hope that it will bring greater awareness to Raymond Scott's music.
