Sounds Like:
BANSHEES Sunnyside Records (2008)
Purchase from Amazon.com
"The shifts of focus and varying tempos make the music as fluid and intriguing as a Dalì painting..."
- Terrent Kent Holms, All About Jazz New York, October 2008
"Scott DuBois is not your run-of-the-mill jazz guitarist. His thorny, diffuse, quick, hard-edged style is not reflective of any contemporary peer...a highly developed sense of harmonic acumen, a lithe and sinewy athletic tautness, and a brave attitude to play differently."
- Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide, July 2008
"DuBois favors an asymmetrical approach, navigating oblique intervals with a nimbleness that would make Eric Dolphy proud... Banshees is as hair-raising as the title suggests."
- Troy Collins, AllAboutJazz, June 2008
"DuBois' music is highly emotional with an undertone of controlled intensity and intellect."
- Budd Koppman, AllAboutJazz, June 2008
"DuBois walks a line between abstraction and lyricism..."
- Nate Chinen, The New York Times, June 2008
"Modern jazz guitar great, Scott DuBois, is one of the finest guitarists to emerge from the downtown scene..."
-Bruce L. Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery, May 2008
TEMPEST Soul Note (2007)
Purchase from Amazon.com
"Scott DuBois is one of the best and most adventurous guitarists in New York."
- Bruce L. Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery, September 2007
"Exceptional...His lines bring to mind a combination of Joe Morris, Pat Martino, and a pit bull...faultless, a perfect gem."
- Charles Winokoor, Cadence Magazine, July 2007
"Fascinating...DuBois spins through tight orbits, unravels knots and creates brooding atmospheres on electric and acoustic guitars...Eastern or even Native American ideas, as they coalesce from low, processional rhythms to complex harmonics and concentrated intensity."
- Forest Dylan Bryant, Jazz Times, June 2007
"DuBois favors a nervy, flat-out attack; he relishes lots of notes and snug compartments of rhythm and line."
- Greg Buium, Downbeat Magazine, June 2007
"Captivating "experimental" music...for the more meditaitve thinker...fascinatingly erudite..."
- Ivana NG, AllAboutJazz New York, June 2007
MONSOON Soul Note (2005)
Purchase from Amazon.com
"(Scott DuBois) has begun to make waves…exploratory yet melodic sensibilities, serious compositional ambitions…cohesive looseness against complex subtleties…"
- Nate Chinen, The New York Times, September 2005
"DuBois is a nimble, rapidfire guitarist, but he..s also a patient player, given to long silences: he waits like a hungry robin, head cocked, searching for the right moment to strike."
- Nate Dorward, Cadence Magazine, March 2005
"DuBois’s electric guitar sounds like a piano, stretching the tempo with well-placed pauses and timely fills and compressing time with effusive runs…When DuBois is unplugged, the fuses threaten to blow...Strumming, plucking and pulling strings as if he were rearranging them on the neck of his instrument…classical virtuosity...These originals favor group work that thrives .. listening and the youthful energy or players who have come up together…DuBois’ tunes favor the upper end of the scale and intensify air that’s already crackling with seriousness."
-Jeff Stockton, AllAboutJazz New York, December 2004
