Hey, remember when the Christian Scott Quintet played The Checkout Live back in November, featuring new material from Scott's upcoming triple release on Concord dropping later this year? That was pretty cool. From that session, here's video of the band playing "Spy Boy".

Between Tradition and Innovation

Christian Scott’s Yesterday You Said Tomorrow is one of those landmark albums that will be remembered in future generations as a cultural monument. This is so because it is a cultural monument in the literal sense of the term, summing up a cultural heritage. And it’s easy to be excited about his three new albums coming out in 2012. The run over the 28th and 29th of October the quintet performing at the Harlem Stage in New York City demonstrated once again Scott’s forward looking perspective on music which is still solidly and harmoniously grounded in tradition.

Contributor Jared Bailey recently attended the 2011 Atlanta Jazz Festival. In case you missed it, his photoblog of the event can be found here. Jared also shot a video of the Ninety Miles Project, featuring Stefon Harris, David Sanchez, and Christian Scott (still trying to figure out who the other members of the band were...). The song is called "La Fiesta Va".

Christian Scott Limited Edition T-Shirt Fundraiser

It took a lot longer than I expected to get this project off the ground, but I’m very proud to announce that our Christian Scott T-Shirt Fundraiser is officially underway. You can pre-order your Limited Edition T-Shirt as of now on the Ropeadope Store. All proceeds from the sale will serve as fundraising for Nextbop.com, at Christian's request.

I originally came up with this idea not only to raise money for our website (because let's face it, we're still not making anything and we're working really REALLY hard) but also to create a new source of revenue for jazz muscians (in order to combat the illegal downloading of their albums and also to diminish their dependency on touring). I wanted Nextbop and the artist chosen for the T-Shirt to share the profits from the sale 50/50.
