Kendrick Scott Oracle: The Source
by Mark F. Turner
Kendrick Scott's debut recording The Source exudes a sense of purpose with music that is carefully orchestrated, coolly executed, and has an appeal that is both contemporary and cerebral. Scott's respect for the art form is cognizant of the greats that have come before him, but clearly personifies his own voice alongside contemporaries like drummers Brian ...

Anat Cohen: Poetica
by Jack Bowers
This is a wonderfully recorded session, overflowing with tender, charming melodies, and everyone involved is a world-class musician. On the other hand, it's not exactly jazz: more like chamber music, bordering at times on classical and not too many steps removed from the venerable klezmer tradition. There is improvisation, but it flows so easily from the ...

Drummer Kendrick Scott Releases Debut CD "The Source" on April 10
Kendrick “KADS" Scott is not your average drummer. Yes, he went to Berklee. Yes, he endorses many of the same drums and accessories as the next guy. And of course his influences include Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Jack DeJohnette, Roy Haynes, and Philly Joe Jones. But Scott distinguishes himself from his peers with unrestrained energy, acute ...
Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band: Dizzy's Business
by George Kanzler
This is a “ghost band" in the midst of an exorcism. Dizzy's ghost is almost gone. Past editions of this band featured Jon Faddis, Dizzy's most faithful acolyte, on trumpet, carrying the torch. No torch carriers here: sans Faddis, the other trumpeters obviously feel no compunction to channel Dizzy bop lines in their solos. And while ...
