The Stillness of Motion

I have no doubt that jazz listeners in search of total-cool work in trio sessions will love Scott's splendid guitar work (he's joined by Clark Sommers on bass & Makaya McCraven on drums) on this ten-song gem. Tunes like "Blues Sketch" definitely bear out their title... super jazz, to be sure. The beauty of the trio's playing is that there's nothing rushed or forced... it sounds as though they're right there in your living room, playing it all just for your ears - how nice that is! The other attractor (for this reviewer, anyway) is that they are all original compositions... as I listen to the stellar energy and excellent interplay between the players on my personal favorite tune on the album, "Laws of Motian", it's clear that original is better, as it always results in something you might not have expected. I give Scott & his musical cohorts a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.98.
