Banshees by Scott DuBois

Praised by The New York Times as a guitarist who “has begun to make waves” and a musician who has “exploratory yet melodic sensibilities, serious compositional ambitions, and cohesive looseness against complex subtleties,” guitarist Scott DuBois has spent the last fifteen years performing internationally at jazz clubs and festivals. It is rare to find a jazz guitarist who can blend the lyricism of the bop idiom and the edginess of the avant-garde. Scott DuBois has a touch that invokes a masterʼs control and an innovatorʼs daring. DuBoisʼs new CD documents his forward thinking developments on jazz guitar. The record features musicians who are globally recognized as being at creative musicʼs apex: Gebhard Ullman (reeds), Thomas Morgan (bass) and Kresten Osgood (drums).

Scott DuBois’s music is described by JazzTimes as "fascinating" and "brilliant" and by All About Jazz as "wondrous, chilling, atmospheric, and powerful as can be." His LANDSCAPE SCRIPTURE album was named one of the "Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2012" by NPR. He won Germany's 2018 ECHO Award for his AUTUMN WIND album. He was named in DownBeat's 2019 Critic's Poll in the "Rising Star Guitar" Category.
