| Presenting Shirley Scott's deeply personal album, 'One for Me' - a |
| defiant tribute to the music she always desired to create but was |
| shrouded by the demands of her vibrant career. Thoughtful curation of |
| the band, tracks, and completely self-funded, this project set off on |
| an innovative trajectory supported by Harold Vick on tenor saxophone |
| and Billy Higgins on drums. Originally released on the revolutionary |
| artist-owned label, Strata-East Records, in January 1975, this unique |
| project will be available to enjoy again on Arc Records from 15th May |
| 2020. |
| |
| The impetus for this record was a real desire for Shirley to express |
| herself more freely and create something for herself, taking back the |
| power she'd seemingly relinquished throughout her career. Maxine |
| Gordon, Scott's close friend, and executive producer on the original |
| record, expresses that they often had intimate discussions about how |
| Scott was being told what to play, what to wear, how to look and how |
| to speak in public for many years. Having had enough of these |
| restrictions, she created this record to please no one but herself. |
| As Scott expresses on the back of the original LP sleeve: |
| |
| "All of the music recorded in this album is both personal and very |
| purposeful to me, because it is the first step toward honesty about |
| what and how I want to play. I've done a lot of other albums, a lot |
| of different ways for a lot of different people and now, with the |
| help of the Creator, in whom all things are possible, I have done one |
| for me too." |
| |
| Having self-raised funds to make the record, with complete control |
| over the masters, and with her dream band together, Scott recorded at |
| Blue Rock Studio in November 1974. Harold Vick, often referred to as |
| one of the "unsung tenor saxophonists" of his time, was cherry picked |
| to bring Scott's vision to life. Throughout his career, he released |
| records on Blue Note, RCA as well as performing and recording with a |
| string of legendary artists such as Ray Charles, and Aretha |
| Franklin. |
| |
| Completing the dream trio was highly sought out drummer Billy |
| Higgins, who is the most recorded drummer in the history of Blue Note |
| Records, having played on 45 Blue Note albums. The key to their |
| success was that Higgins tuned his drums to fit with the organ's bass |
| sound which, of course, Scott played with her feet. |
| |
| Scott was also known as "Little Miss Half-Steps," a name given to her |
| by tenor saxophonist George Coleman, (who wrote a composition by that |
| name in her honour) - she regularly played with both George & Harold. |
| Coleman is known to have admired Scott's half-steps (when you play |
| two adjacent keys on the organ or piano) and their close bond and |
| mutual respect is solidified on this record through a track titled |
| 'Big George' - specifically written for Coleman. |
| |
| "Queen of the Organ", Shirley Scott was born in Philadelphia in 1934 |
| and lived there most of her life until her early death in March 2002 |
| at the age of 67. Having mastered the piano at an early age, Scott |
| switched from piano to organ at the tender age of 21. Scott had a |
| legendary recording career as a leader with 45 albums mainly released |
| on Impulse and Prestige and is often remembered for her work with |
| Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Stanley Turrentine. Boasting a thriving |
| career as a musician and composer, Scott progressed to a professor at |
| Cheyney University in her later years. She was a treasured mother and |
| grandmother, and a cherished friend of music scholar, Maxine Gordon, |
| whose honour it is to collaborate with Arc Records on shining a new |
| bright light on this monumental body of work. |
