What the Critics Say
After many years of recording one commercial effort after another, Tom Scott finally recorded a strong jazz set. By using Born Again as the CD's title, Scott sought to demonstrate that he was returning to his roots; unfortunately, this promising direction would only be a one-shot deal. Scott, who was always a strong musician, shows that he had not forgotten how to improvise despite all of his commercial work. He is heard on tenor, alto, and soprano performing seven mostly straight-ahead originals and Wayne Shorter's "Children of the Night." Scott's list of sidemen for this project is quite impressive: trumpeter Randy Brecker, tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb, trombonist George Bohanon, pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist John Patitucci, drummer William Kennedy, and percussionist Mike Fisher. The leader is heard on several numbers with a quartet/quintet, in addition to the septet/octet tracks. Highly recommended, this is the Tom Scott recording to get. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
