He is currently music director of several online radio channels and can be heard hosting jazz programs as part of the in-flight entertainment for domestic and international airlines as well. Twice nominated as jazz personality of the year by Gavin magazine, he has been an industry panelist and moderator at numerous jazz conferences including Jazz Times, Jazz Week, and the International Association of Jazz Education.

Over the years, his interest in the history and stories behind the music he loves has led him to create a number of unique programs, including most recently "Talkin' Jazz with Scott Willis", a syndicated jazz feature program launched in the Spring of 2007 and carried on over 30 stations nationwide during it's time in production. As a music supervisor, Scott has worked on independent film and television commercials for several production companies.
