Canadian jazz guitarist Andrew Scott's third CD for Sackville delves into a number of works based upon chord changes to standards in this 2008 session, performing with pianist Mark Eisenman, bassist Pat Collins, and drummer Joel Haynes, plus guests Jon-Erik Kellso and Dan Block (tenor sax and clarinet). The infectious opener is his gently swinging setting of Ben Webster's "Did You Call Her Today," highlighted by Kellso's sassy muted horn, Block's robust tenor and the leader's deliberate yet intricate solo. Scott's tantalizing setting of Fats Navarro's "Nostalgia" revives a minor bop classic that has far too long laid in obscurity, while his loping treatment of Charlie Parker's "Quasimodo" and snappy take of Barney Kessel's "Vicky's Dream" (featuring Block on clarinet) are among the highlights. Scott's own "Contrafact," based upon the changes to "(Back Home Again In) Indiana," is a subtle swinger featuring Block's playful clarinet and a spacious solo by the leader. Like many Canadian jazz artists, Andrew Scott deserves wider critical attention. ~ Ken Dryden, Rovi
