Jimmy Scott: Moon Glow

Read "Moon Glow" reviewed by Jess Rosenstock


No matter how you define it, a real “jazz singer" is exactly what Jimmy Scott is. His phrasing and delivery are simply impeccable, and – though at age 78 his voice may be a bit rough around the edges – he sings straight from the heart. Scott's newest release offers up ten ballads ...

Jimmy Scott: Moon Glow

Read "Moon Glow" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


It took a long time in coming, but Jimmy Scott’s sure found his career groove with his series of “comeback” albums with Todd Barkan for the Milestone label. Barkan somehow knows how to set up Scott’s distinctive vocal presence – an unparalleled dynamic between the performer's exquisite sense of jazz and blues timing, and the ravages ...

Jimmy Scott: Everybody's Somebody's Fool

Read "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" reviewed by AAJ Staff


On this new collection of career-launching sides, Jimmy Scott primarily deals with two main issues: the fool and Fortune. While Scott was often made to play the former thanks to the development-stunting condition that the latter foisted upon him, he has enough conviction and strength (both vocally and otherwise) to deliver a star-making performance. From the ...
