After an impressive debut as a pianist in 1953, Bobby Scott was 17 when, a year later, he conducted the first of a series of three genuinely creative albums dedicated to his own works, all now compiled on this CD. A man of many moods, bursting with creativity, his compositions are full of a fine feel for harmonic textures and melodically interesting lines.
But also among the outstanding aspects of these sessions are the soloists given ample scope by the writing; Hal McKusick, Eddie Bert, Conte Candoli, Frank Rosolino, Charlie Mariano, Bill Holman, Jimmy Giuffre, Marty Flax and the little known Ronnie Woellmer and John Murtaugh are prime examples of the best of the East and West Coast jazzmen of the era. With Scott also shining as pianist on the second and third dates, this collection is a unique portrait of his precocious talent.

Tras un impresionante debut como pianista en 1953, Bobby Scott tenía 17 años cuando, un año más tarde, dirigió el primero de una serie de tres álbumes genuinamente creativos dedicados a sus propias obras, todos ellos recopilados ahora en este CD. Un hombre de muchos estados de ánimo, rebosante de creatividad, sus composiciones están llenas de una fina sensación de texturas armónicas y líneas melódicamente interesantes.
Pero también entre los aspectos destacados de estas sesiones se encuentran los solistas a los que la escritura les da un amplio alcance; Hal McKusick, Eddie Bert, Conte Candoli, Frank Rosolino, Charlie Mariano, Bill Holman, Jimmy Giuffre, Marty Flax y los poco conocidos Ronnie Woellmer y John Murtaugh son los mejores ejemplos de los mejores jazzistas de la costa este y oeste de la época. Con Scott brillando también como pianista en la segunda y tercera fechas, esta colección es un retrato único de su precoz talento.
