Guitarist Mark Scott has a warm and clean Kenny Burrellish feel to his touch, working well with the subtle and lyrical team of Ben Triesch/b and Mike Gordon/dr on this collection of originals. With Gordon mostly on the deft brushes, the mood is understated, but always swinging, hip on the post bopping “Carpals” and dancing to the bouncy “Rhythm-Ding”. Triesch supplies the pulse to the snappy “Monster Beat” and adds indigo’d tones to “News Blues”. Scott never overstates his case, reflective on “The Sun Behind The Cloud” and laying back on a reflective “Warmth”. Soft strings.
