a disciple of psychedelic subterfuge, coupled with post-cool intensity.
reorienting the compass of jazz.
scott is not just a fine - in fact, magnificent - pianist; he is a fine, magnificent
all-around musician.
a restless trio…appeallingly rugged and resourceful.
scott builds the tension slowly, along the melody/harmony like a formula 1 driver.
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.
Live at the Rockwood Music Hall is a beautiful showcase of this dynamic piano trio.
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.
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.
