About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Although a bit streaky, this is one of Tom Scott's better recordings of the 1980s. A live set with guitarists Eric Gale (whose bluesy playing is a strong asset) and Hugh McCracken, keyboardist Richard Tee, electric bassist Marcus Miller, drummer Steve Gadd and percussionist Ralph MacDonald, Scott sounds fine when playing tenor, although his decision to use the anonymous-sounding lyricon on some numbers is a mistake. Also on the minus side are Dr. John's cameo appearance singing "So White and So Funky," the repertoire in general (which includes four forgettable Scott originals), and some of the less imaginative rhythms.

January 03, 2003: I consider myself a very avid listener of jazz. Being born and raised in new orleans, raised in a musical family. I have listened to everything from classical to zydeco. Mr Yanow is definately was off course when he penned that the lyricon and Dr John's inputs were to the "minus side". Not only did did the variety of musical instruments and talents which were displayed by tom scott and Dr. John show genious; it displayed a the broad spectrum of Jazz music in general.

August 07, 2002: Growing up and playing sax since age 11, I have heard all sorts of artists and styles, and I keep coming back to this album. I find it to be fun, original and far more accessible for others who may not be musicians. Scott Yanow doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. The choice of Lyricon is merely a FUN choice for Scott and a way to break things up a little. Also, he had the technology of the day to contend with, otherwise he might have chosen an EWI or similar instrument, just as Michael Brecker has. Compositionally, again, Scott doesn't just write to impress fellow musicians, he wants everyone else to enjoy the music. He has shown on his albums he can write in all sorts of styles anyway. Sometimes complex jazz is NOT a good thing. And his band of incredible studio musicians makes this live performance all the better. These are all top musicians constantly in demand by other leading artists. They would not choose to play behind just any musician. This speaks to the respect and talent Mr. Scott receives as one of the leading saxophone artists around - today and then. Great album.
