https://djazz.stingray.com/en/US/featured/spring-special Great review of AUTUMN WIND from All About Jazz Italia:
"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..."

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.

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. |
