"This first-time, self-produced recording showcases the seasoned musical skills of Dr. Scott's carrer as a musician, composer and educator. His forays into experimenting with a carefully chosen, exuberant array of sounds and rhythms makes this collection of percussive compositions a joy to experience. Underlaid with a solid foundation of musicianship, and crafted with loving detail, the tunes on this CD exude an energy that I found give me energy when I have none, and lift me into a new and joyous awareness. In addition to playing this recording for the enjoyment of its many different rhythmic flavors, this is a perfect CD for rush hour listening!"
