Wolfram L. I saw Christian and his band last year in Stuttgart and had a beer with him and the band. My most fav concert of the year! Not only that they make a fantastic music - they are all very nice guys and I felt a very powerful spirit of love they emited!

jazzman2017 Christian Scott is an original, forward thinker for sure. Is this Jazz? Yes and no. Doesn't matter. He uses the term "stretch music" and he blends in "trap" with a load of talented musicians including Braxton Crook on sax, Lawrence Fields on piano and his own cool horn playing, creating a sound like nothing else you hear in the jazz world today. It took me a minute to get used to the SPD-SX, Sampling, but didn't take long for his creativity to win me over. A lot of great stuff going on!
