'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.' allaboutjazz-newyork

'a restless trio.' ny times

'Blending pop, bop, pulse, and clatter, they get to a place that swings on its own terms. And they entertain as well. Prep for the Halloween gig by donning your "anything goes" psyche.' Village Voice

'...a certain satanic allure.' Jazzman (France)

''Dred Scott is a monster on the piano, one of the best players I have ever seen. In my opinion he's already a legend. It has been and continues to be an honor to have the Dred Scott Trio perform every Tuesday night . This residency has become a key part of the clubs reputation for good music any time any day. I have seen the Dred Scott trio hundreds of times and every time he blows my mind.' Ken Rockwood
