Release Notes:
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.
On Out of Line, Don Scott is joined by some of the
most exciting and unique players on the Canadian
jazz scene:
Quinsin Nachoff (tenor saxophone, clarinets)
has been described as "one of the truly bright jazz
minds hereabouts" (Mark Miller - The Globe and
Mail).
"[Michael Herring's] bass soars and swoops and
the overall impact is tremendous." (Geoff Chapman -
The Toronto Star)
Nick Fraser "not so much plays the drums as
hurls himself whole body and soul against skin and
metalàtruly talented.ö (Bill Stunt - CBC Radio)
As a guitarist and composer Don Scott has emerged
as one of TorontoÆs fresh new talents. His unique
sound and approach to different styles of music is
being sought after by musicians and audiences
throughout Canada.
Notably, Scott has recorded and toured with Michael
Herring's Vertigo featuring New York saxophonist,
David Binney, performed head-to-head with legendary
jazz-reggae guitarist Ernest Ranglin, and toured
Canada with British reggae legend Brinsley Forde
(of Aswad) with Juno-nominated Jason Wilson &
Tabarruk. Scott has attended the International Jazz
Workshop at the Banff Centre for the Arts, where he
forged many relationships with musicians from
around the world and was exposed to many musical
styles, influences, and inspirations. There, he had
the opportunity to play and record a concert with
Chris Potter and also share the stage with Jim
Black, Dave Douglas, Django Bates, Kenny Werner,
Johannes Weidenmuller, and Ari Hoenig. In Toronto,
he has performed with such Toronto mainstays as
Kevin Turcotte, John McLeod, Dave Restivo, Mike
Murley, Nick ôBrownmanö Ali, Melissa Stylianou, and
many more. Scott leads his own quartet (with
Quinsin Nachoff, Michael Herring, and Nick Fraser),
co-leads GodÆs Gift to Yoda (with Harley Card,
Michael Herring, and Nico Dann), and performs in
many musical projects in Toronto including Michael
Herring's Vertigo (modern jazz), Jason Wilson &
Tabarruk (reggae), Loitering Heroes (folk-rock),
Methuselah (electronic), and Joe SorbaraÆs Pickle
Juice Orchestra (improv).
Don Scott is a graduate of the University of
TorontoÆs Jazz Performance program, where he
studied with Lorne Lofsky and Roy Patterson, and he
has since become an integral part of a vibrant new
wave of Toronto musicians. Don ScottÆs Out Of Line
project recorded their debut CD, Out of Line in
2007. Other recordings include Loitering Heroes
Beast Alert!, Michael HerringÆs Vertigo Coniferous
Revenge, Jason Wilson The PeacemakerÆs Chauffeur,
and GodÆs Gift to Yoda Scribble Man and The Music
