Don Scott

Toronto, ON

Out of Line, introducing Don Scott, is full of infectious modern jazz grooves and rich harmonic textures with edge-of-your-seat improvising. On this debut album the Toronto guitarist leads a quartet through ten original compositions propelled by a rhythm section that navigates the shifts between classic and modern jazz with groovy elements like jungle and rock, exhibiting a highly developed rhythmic sensibility. Fused by catchy yet quirky melodies and imaginative solos, the interplay of saxophone and guitar take the lead, while the rhythm section cooks up an unpredictable palate of support. Bringing to mind other trend setters, such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mark Turner, David Binney, Jim Black, and Dave Douglas, Out of Line takes an organic and interactive approach to playing sophisticated modern jazz, creating a spirited and dynamic listening experience.
