"An excellent guitarist and an excellent composer, the forty-year-old Scott DuBois is one of the most interesting musicians out there...a striking fresco balanced between symphonic complexity and that of free jazz...Autumn Wind is the umpteenth top-quality album by the American artist, a complex and fascinating work and one of the best ones heard so far this year..."

"Let the listener take the time to discover a thousand shades of ocher, brown and red, to feel the humidity, the organic matter that decomposes, the humus and feelings that mingle fullness and melancholy."

"The music serves to beautifully illustrate the moods and modes of autumn as a season and the autumnal frame of mind, seeking peace amid the squalls of life’s travails. From the riotous blooms of autumn's color in the landscape to the stark and barren trees of early winter, the music takes the listener on a personal journey, echoing the season’s many hues within its structure, a gradual unveiling of the nature of the inner and outer world."

This is fusion of the highest order. With seven CDs in the last 13 years, looks like I’m headed down to DuBois Blvd. to catch up with this amazing mathematician of a music-maker." - The Aquarian Weekly (US) "Autumn Wind is one vast modern jazz canvas...DuBois appears to be broadening everything about his art...a jazz album unlike any other...Honestly, he can stop right now, and his reputation for a forward-thinking artist would be firmly cemented." - Pop Matters (US) One of the "Best of 2017" "...highly impressionistic...brimming with even more original ideas...a complete mastery of the electric guitar’s tonal palette...full of timbral richness...DuBois’s desire to blur the lines between creative jazz, chamber music and folk forms is a quest others before him have taken on, but the challenge of putting it all together both coherently and provocatively is where many have fallen short.
