WOW!!!!! where have I been? Christian Scott is the real deal......wonderful Jazz which keeps moving to open spaces. that allows for room to think and think and feel good about where you have arrived at and may want to travel. the musicians on this album are going to be invited to my home for a session. I am going to invite my great friends and allow everyone to enjoy Christian Scott. thanx to Kris Funn the spirited bass player with Mr. Scott who has continued in the tradition of Ron Carter and a long line of bass players even my father Bob Harper from the 50s.
I've only been listening to jazz for about 35 or so years but he must be the most unique trumpeter/ interpreter in recent memory. Christian Scott brings something altogether new to the world of jazz.
Music dies when it stops growing and innovating.
This is living proof that music is still alive. Here's to all of those who say all modern music is trash.
Also, some people desperately need to learn the difference between "This isn't to my taste" and "This is bad."
