Christian Scott - Christian a Tunde Adjuah (CD)

Details: On July 31, 2012, Edison Award winning trumpeter-composer-producer-bandleader Christian Scott releases his compelling new album, CHRISTIAN ATUNDE ADJUAH. The follow-up to his critically-acclaimed YESTERDAY YOU SAID TOMORROW is an inspired and provocative two-disc, 23-track collection. With the artist's trumpet at the heart of most of the tunes, the album features reflective ballads, light and dreamy sound scopes, guitar-edged and rock-inflected cookers, trumpet ecstasies as well as clarion calls and anguished wails. An intrepid explorer, Scott ups the ante on his new double album CHRISTIAN ATUNDE ADJUAH, continuing to delve into uncharted jazz territory. Scott's band consists of guitarist Matthew Stevens, drummer Jamire Williams, bassist Kris Funn and pianist Lawrence Fields (whose piano sound is often spiced for effect by using paper on the instrument's strings). Scott also recruited guests tenor saxophonist Kenneth Whalum III, alto saxophonist Louis Fouche IIII, and trombonist Corey King.
