BLUE NOTE. CD/DL/LP
On a mission “to make myself uncomfortable”, Scott’s third for Blue Note is an understated gem that disguises its players’ virtuosity: Walter Smith III’s arcing sax melodies and Reuben Rogers’ sliding bass figures enhancing carefully woven grooves on the haunted title track and a soulful take on Bobby Hutcherson’s Isn’t This My Sound Around Me?. A reflective, top-tier set, Corridors majors on commonalities and connections.
