Our Take

Shirley Scott may not be a household name to the masses, but to jazz enthusiasts, she's an absolute legend. This collection of four classic albums showcases Scott's versatility and sheer brilliance on the Hammond organ.

Starting off with "Great Scott!" from 1958, Scott effortlessly blends hard bop with soulful grooves that will have you tapping your feet in no time. Tracks like "Toys in the Attic" and "Hip Soul" display Scott's mastery of the instrument, delivering killer solos that will leave you in awe.

Moving on to "The Soul is Willing" from 1963, Scott shows off her funky side with infectious tunes like "Freedom Dance" and "Blues Everywhere." Her playing is soulful and expressive, taking the listener on a journey through the depths of emotion.

Next up is "On a Clear Day" from 1966, where Scott explores more melodic territory with beautiful renditions of standards like "Alfie" and "Days of Wine and Roses." Her delicate touch on the keys is truly mesmerising, drawing you in with each note.

Finally, "Blue Flames" from 1991 sees Scott teaming up with the likes of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson for some seriously smoking performances. The chemistry between these musicians is palpable, creating a dynamic and electrifying listening experience.

Overall, this compilation of Shirley Scott's work is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Her talent and passion shine through on each album, solidifying her status as a true jazz icon.
