QUOTES “I haven’t been this moved by a performance of ’For All We
Know’ since Carmen McRae’s Dream of Life album. Shade is a Blue-Chip recording
of 2004.“ “Crystal clear diction, squeaky clean tone and
the ability to scat like a true horn player are among the qualities that set this vocalist apart from hundreds
of thousands of jazz singers of either sex. It comes as no surprise that he is an Associate Professor at the
Berklee College of Music, for Scott’s intellectually stimulating take on the music exudes the perfectionism
one might only expect from a devoted academic.” (see the full review on ejazznews.com)
You sure sing up a storm! Will Friedwald, author of Jazz Singing "Thank you so much for sending me the CD. I’m listening to it
at 4AM and enjoying it greatly; ’For All We Know’ is now playing and it sounds really good at this hour.
What a pleasure to hear a singer with such great ears; your musicianship is terrific and your improvisations
are so pleasing to the ear. No wonder you're teaching at Berklee... Anyway, thanks again, David; I hope the
CD does wonderful things for you." -John Funkhouser, Berklee College of Music about Shade: “I love what he’s
doing! Interesting to hear what I feel is his ‘stretching’ –
the growth in artistic boundaries and possibilities both musically and
vocally.” about Shade: “Wow, it gets better
and better as it goes along! His singing is often so impressive, both
the beautiful, warm sound of his natural voice and also his ability to
use it with so much command. Really fun arrangements and great players
too. He is definitely in the top 2% of vocal improvisers in the world!” Chosen as a “Jazz Pick of the Week” by Steve Greenlee, Boston Globe, September 2003 Right click to Download DYAD poster |
