"Mojo Rhythm" live at the Newport Jazz Festival August 9, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“While playing, the pianist [Dred Scott] sometimes gets antsy and stands up, a la Jerry Lee Lewis. It’s a move that reminds just how physical his music can be—especially a piece like “Mojo Rhythm.” Splash is part of this group’s persona. This summer at Newport they made groggy morning crowd act midnightish. For the last three years at this downtown venue, they’ve been making a midnightish crowd act rockish (meaning
whoopish). Blending pop, bop, pulse, and clatter, they get to a place that swings on its own terms. And they entertain as well. Prep for the Halloween gig by donning your ‘anything goes’ psyche.”

Dred I love you. You are funny. You are real. You play the hell out of a piano. You are my friend. Of course I want to play again sometime! Loved your wife's Shakespear blog. Shakespeare is well A genius. and your wife's take is refreshingly bawdy. Shakespeare would've approved.

Hello, "old" friend! Yes, there have been 6 feet of The Jude for nearly 30 years. Haven't seen Kim since fall; I'm due for a visit. Glad to hear you reconnected with Michael. I still have a great piece of his art prominently displayed in my living room. So good to hear from you! Love, Judy
GREETINGS MR. SCOTT, What a lovely surprise for me to visit my own myspace page today, and to see a nice comment from you. I respect your work so much, have seen you at Rockwood-you light up that place. Let me be among the many fans who have thanked you for bringing your unique music to us. When I heard you with Tony, I was overcome with the strongest urge to sing. I'm sure that I'm not the only one! Keep doing what you're doing! patC
