Scott Dubois: Black Hawk Dance
by Raul d'Gama Rose
There is a deep, questioning spirituality that pervades the music of Scott DuBois. On Black Hawk Dance, his second Sunnyside release, the music becomes a kind of ancient/modern ritual that reaches outward and upward to seemingly attain--as Don Cherry once did--complete communion with the Divine. But the journey is not easy, as the music on this ...

Scott Dubois: Banshees
by AAJ Italy Staff

Scott Dubois: Banshees
by Budd Kopman
Comparisons are only as good as the knowledge of the compared, but they can be helpful.

Just being that, however, would not ...
