Tom Scott • Great Scott!

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This was one of Tom Scott's strongest albums of his career. Although there are commercial elements to the music, Scott is heard throughout in prime form, and several of the numbers are quite memorable. Scott roars on tenor during his catchy "Lookin' Out for Number Seven," and plays lyrical flute on Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock," and digs into John Coltrane's "Dahomey Dance." Among the notable sidemen are guitarist Howard Roberts, keyboardist Mike Wofford and guitarist Larry Carlton. On this album (which unfortunately is long out of print), Tom Scott for once perfectly balances the artistic and commercial aspects of his music and comes out with a near-classic offering.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Este es uno de los discos más sólidos de la carrera de Tom Scott. Aunque hay elementos comerciales en la música, se escucha a Scott en plena forma, y varios de los números son bastante memorables. Scott ruge con el tenor en su pegadiza "Lookin' Out for Number Seven", toca la flauta lírica en "Woodstock" de Joni Mitchell y se adentra en "Dahomey Dance" de John Coltrane. Entre los músicos de acompañamiento destacan el guitarrista Howard Roberts, el teclista Mike Wofford y el guitarrista Larry Carlton. En este álbum (desgraciadamente descatalogado desde hace tiempo), Tom Scott logra por una vez un equilibrio perfecto entre los aspectos artísticos y comerciales de su música y presenta una obra casi clásica.
