Yesterday You Said Tomorrow
''Yesterday You Said Tomorrow'' is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Christian Scott. Concord Music Group released the album on February 1, 2010 in the UK and on March 30, 2010 in the US. Background As Scott says in the album's liner notes, this album "was designed in subject matter and sound to have the brevity and character of the recordings of the '60s," inspired by the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. ''Yesterday You Said Tomorrow'' is a successful manifestation of the music concept that he calls "stretch music". The concept understands and respects the jazz traditions that came before and doesn't attempt to replace them, instead trying to embrace within its rhythmic and harmonic frameworks as many musical forms and cultural languages as possible. His later albums ''Christian aTunde Adjuah'' and ''Stretch Music'' will be thoughtful extensions of that model. Reception Graham Reid of Elsewhere stated "Recorded, mixed and mastered by Blu ...

Live At Newport (Christian Scott Album)
''Live at Newport'' is a live album by American jazz trumpeter Christian Scott released in 2008 via Concord Records label. Reception Josef Woodard of ''JazzTimes'' noted "From one perspective, it might seem a bit premature for young trumpeter Christian Scott to be releasing a live album, with only two major label studio albums out since his emergence on the scene in 2006. On the plus side, ''Live at Newport'', with material drawn from his earlier albums mixed in with new tunes, offers up a glimpse at Scott's intriguing and evolving band in the more open and in-the-moment setting of a live show, and captured at a historic festival, no less... As a trumpeter, Scott demonstrates an appreciation for musical finery. Though a strong player, he heeds a romantic impulse and resists excessive technical overkill. He savors long, nuanced tones, loops fragmented phrases and generally seeks to hone a voice to call his own in the crowded ranks of good trumpeters on the scene. So far, so good, ...

Anthem (Christian Scott Album)
''Anthem'' is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Christian Scott released on August 28, 2007 via Concord Records. Background ''Anthem'' is a Scott's emotional response to the continued suffering in 2007 of his fellow New Orleanians two years after Hurricane Katrina. Reception Steve Greenlee of ''JazzTimes'' stated "There's a reason the term "sophomore slump" exists, and trumpeter Christian Scott has hit it. There were high expectations surrounding him, though; his first disc, '' Rewind That'', was an auspicious modern-jazz debut and one of the most enjoyable listens of 2006. His second album, Anthem? Not so much. OK, maybe that's being generous to a young man with a lot of promise. His new album is actually dreadful. It's dark and brooding, and while it was informed and inspired by Hurricane Katrina and government's failure to help the people of Scott's hometown, that's no excuse for the plodding dullness and striking lack of imagination that pervade ''Anthem''".

Rewind That
''Rewind That'' is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Christian Scott on Concord Records released on March 28, 2006. It is his debut album for Concord Records. Rewind That was nominated for a Grammy. Reception Quentin Huff of ''PopMatters'' wrote "And then there's ''Rewind That'', Scott's 11-track debut. What else can you do except be jealous of trumpet playing this textured, this lush, and arrangements this smooth? Not content to simply cover tunes by the greats, Scott has the audacity to compose his own, like the funky tune "Caught Up" or his danceable tribute to his twin brother Kiel. Wait a minute. Twin brother? You mean there are TWO of them? (Kiel, a talented visual artist, contributed some nice photography for the album cover and liner notes.) This album features Scott's interplay of music and storytelling, using the actual instruments of course but also the song titles themselves to create a package of tunes that sound like the score for a collection of short sto ...

Christian Scott In 2009
Christians () are people who follow or adhere to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The words ''Christ'' and ''Christian'' derive from the Koine Greek title ''Christós'' (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term '' mashiach'' (מָשִׁיחַ) (usually rendered as ''messiah'' in English). While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." It does not have a meaning of 'of Christ' or 'related or pertaining to Christ'. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, up from about 600 million in 1910. Today, about 37% of all Christians live in the Ame ...
