About Me

’this disc (live at rockwood) demonstrates that scott’s vision of bop is a deeply personal one, which can be either cozily swinging or devilishly tricky.’ time out, ny ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- ’Live at the Rockwood Music Hall is a beautiful showcase of this dynamic piano trio.’ christophe shue, allaboutjazz-newyork ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- "...reorienting the compass of jazz..." derk richardson, sf bay gaurdian ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- "...a disciple of psychedelic subterfuge, couple with post-cool intensity..." victor haseman, sf weekly ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- "...scott is not a fine -- in fact, magnificent -- pianist, he is a fine, magnificent all-around musician." phil elwood, sf examiner ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- "Scott builds the tension slowly, along the melody/harmony like a Formula 1 driver...soloing with an ingenuity and ease that recalls Kenny Kirkland." terrell holmes, allaboutjazz-newyorkSWIRLING VIDEO OF DRED SCOTT TRIO PLAYING "KING BUSCUIT" LIVE at the ROCKWOOD MUSIC HALL
