There’s just something exquisitely dramatic about a good ‘bone man. Dinah Washington called it that “big long sliding thing.” Composer-Arranger-Educator-Designer Marty Scott wields his trombone like a weapon. The Long Islander melds hard bop with soulful funk-swing and Latin. With JJ Johnson [1924-2001] as his main influence (like practically all working trombonists on the planet), he blows with authority and smarts.
