Tom Scott Quartet - Hair To Jazz

Review by Yunhan Kim

The Tom Scott Quartet's album, Hair To Jazz, showcases the band's talent for blending the worlds of rock and jazz. The quartet, featuring Tom Scott on saxophone, Robben Ford on guitar, Russell Ferrante on keyboards, and Jimmy Haslip on bass, delivers an energetic and innovative sound that is sure to delight fans of both genres.

The album opens with the title track, "Hair To Jazz," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its driving beat and catchy melody. From there, the quartet explores a range of styles and moods, from the funky "Feelin' Alright" to the introspective "Song for My Father."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Strut," a groovy number that features some impressive guitar work from Robben Ford. The quartet also puts their own spin on the classic jazz standard "Take the A Train," infusing it with a rock-inspired energy that gives the tune a fresh feel.
