Search - Stephen Scott :: Renaissance

Pretty good LP from young jazz paino leader

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Saw Stephen Scott with Sonny Rollins and since Sonny has gone of into Calypso land and Bob Cranshaw just ran the numbers on electric (say's Sonny can't hear acoustic) was always most impressed with Scott.Here he plays well and chooses standards that are great.But you know that thing where it just won't hold you for one sitting and you split listening up.It's strange for me to say why because technically Scott is fine and plays with great flourish.His "Black,Brown,and Beige" type of three(MP3) or four part piece is not exactly up to his technique.Since it's cheap what's the risk.It's still a solid CD from a talented player.
