Frank Moten

Born 1957 in Cleveland, Ohio to Terry and Al Rosen—the latter a slugger for the Cleveland Indians—Andy Scott grew up in a ...

Every piece came about like a drought’s first heavy ...

His compositions balance the restlessness of his imagination with a killer instinct for melody. It’s a dangerous combination, one that finds the balance between inventiveness and accessibility. There is the potential for a mainstream crossover in Alive, even more than his previous work. Josh Nelson’s hauntingly beautiful piano intro gives the ...
