Scott Colley: Architect Of The Silent Moment
by Budd Kopman
A work that presents a deeply mined and singular mood, Architect Of The Silent Moment is subdued yet coolly intense. The album presents a unified musical vision built on bass vamps and grooves with little true melodic development or harmonic changes, allowing the soloists much freedom within each defined section. While the prevailing ...

Scott Colley: Architect of the Silent Moment
by Fred Bouchard
For bassist Colley's Architect of the Silent Moment, a conceptual construct (more poetically, a fantasia) for small ensemble, the oft-quoted dictum has rarely seemed more apposite: “Less is more. Colley starts with a core quartet of Ralph Alessi (trumpet), Craig Taborn (keyboards) and Antonio Sanchez (drums), and guests emerge and disappear throughout the subtle, largely written, ...
Scott Colley: Architect of the Silent Moment
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un pezzo di downtown newyorchese trasferito sulle sponde del Tevere che, durante il tragitto virtuale, perde asperità e frenesie tipiche della grande mela per assorbire la gioiosa indolenza capitolina. Potrebbe essere questa la fotografia di presentazione di Architect of the Silent Moment, l’album licenziato dal quartetto del compositore e contrabbassista Scott Colley, supportato per l’occasione da ...

But also ...
Scott Colley: Architect of the Silent Moment
by Stephen Wood
Scott Colley's ability to fuse free-form improvisation, complex meters, grooving melodies, rock harmonies and atonality has solidified his position as a New York jazz musician of the new generation. Unfortunately we live in a plagued era in which musical complexity is worth just as much as--if not more than--musical accessibility and the communication of ideas. Architect ...

Conversation with Scott Colley
by Franz A. Matzner
Though he doesn't know it, I owe composer/bassist Scott Colley quite a bit. It was hearing Mr. Colley perform at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles several years ago that fully opened my ears to the expressive force of the bass. Certainly, I'd always possessed a certain predilection for the bass, but it wasn't until after ...
