O’s Notes: Scott is a trombonist, an educator and a jazz aficionado. He leads this quintet though a live session recorded at Cecil’s in West Orange, NJ. Rich Perry (sax), Jim Ridi (p), Mike McGuirk (b) and Andy Watson (d) join him as they play nine original compositions. We liked “The Alchemist”, a tune dedicated to Miles Davis, “The Soulful Mr. Williams” and “Pedacinho do Brasil”. Scott does a fine job here with fresh music and cool beats.
