Scott releases highly adventurous music on his ScienSonic Laboratories label, and his Doctette (celebrating pulp adventure hero Doc Savage) gave what The Boston Globe called the most quirky and delightful set of the 2015 Newport Jazz Festival.Scotts 2019 album Tenormore, featuring his longstanding quartet of Helen Sung, Martin Wind and Dennis Mackrel, was judged Best New Release by the readers of JazzTimes, and was rated Indispensable by Frances Jazz Hot magazine.
