I'm honored and thankful to win Germany's ECHO Award (Germany's equivalent of the Grammy) for my AUTUMN WIND album!  Scott DuBois - "Lake Shore Suite" from the SCOTT DUBOIS QUARTET LIVE IN MUNICH Concert Film6/21/2018
Music composed by Scott DuBois Scott DuBois Quartet: Scott DuBois / guitar Gebhard Ullmann / tenor sax Thomas Morgan / bass Kresten Osgood / drums Performed live at Jazzclub Unterfahrt in Munich, Germany on March 3, 2016 Music composed by Scott DuBois Scott DuBois Quartet: Scott DuBois / guitar Gebhard Ullmann / bass clarinet Thomas Morgan / bass Kresten Osgood / drums Performed live at Jazzclub Unterfahrt in Munich, Germany on March 3, 2016 From DuBois' WINTER LIGHT studio album liner notes: Ralph Waldo Emerson called art an “expression of nature.” WINTER LIGHT transports the listener on a day’s journey from earliest dawn into deepest night, illustrating the day’s changing light through varied landscapes and weather conditions. I have loved representations of this evolution in visual art, especially in the paintings of Claude Monet, who often worked on several canvases at once in order to track the day's shifting light. WINTER LIGHT captures such visions in sound. Peace and tranquility return in "Night Tundra" where moonlit snow glows in the darkness.

"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." Visit the DE FRANCE tab on the REVIEWS page for a link to read the full review! Very nice review of AUTUMN WIND from the Jazz and Blues Blogspot:
"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."

R.I.P. to my first real guitar teacher, Dan Voll. I was about 10 or 11 years old when I started studying with him. What a wonderful musician, a great teacher and a beautiful human being. You had a huge influence on my life, Dan. I'm forever grateful for this. I saw you in August in NYC and your beautiful soul was shining in your eyes. Thank you for everything.  Scott DuBois - "Early Morning Forest" from the SCOTT DUBOIS QUARTET LIVE IN MUNICH Concert Film1/20/2018

I have loved representations of this evolution in visual art, especially in the paintings of Claude Monet, who often worked on several canvases at once in order to track the day's shifting light. WINTER LIGHT captures such visions in sound. "Early Morning Forest" introduces a stately pine forest soon pierced by rays of light dazzling snow-filled branches and the white forest floor. Animals call one another to enter the mass of trees. Deeper in the forest, in the darker thick brush, an ominous cold mist fills the air. The animals call again after slowly emerging from the forest into the warmth of the unobstructed morning sun. AUTUMN WIND has received a great review from Spain's El Debate de Hoy!:
"Scott DuBois has produced some of the best albums of our time based on painting landscapes and recreating environments with the brushes of music...Environments, images and sensations evoked with pride through the most complex harmonic and contrapuntal resources of programmatic music...formal perfection...perhaps the most wonderful and beautiful piece of jazz of the year 2017."

I have loved representations of this evolution in visual art, especially in the paintings of Claude Monet, who often worked on several canvases at once in order to track the day's shifting light. WINTER LIGHT captures such visions in sound. "First Light Tundra" opens with the earliest glimpse of light over a cold, desolate landscape as birds awake, call, and fly off into the distance. In a battle between darkness and light, fierce crashing winds obscure the approaching sunrise with flying snow. The sun triumphs in the end.

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.
