Scott Dubois

El New York Times destaca al grupo y su guitarrista líder como alguien con ganas de experimentar sin perder la sensibilidad melódica, sus ambiciones como arreglista, y sus sutilezas complejas pero coherentemente fluidas. El cuarteto ofrecerá en Boguijazz su sonido vanguardista , poco después de la aparición de su segundo CD, Tempest, del legendario sello, Soul Note. El cuarteto tocara temas del jazz moderno con muchísima improvisación e interacción del grupo, fluidez rítmica y armónica, combinada con la sencillez de melodía pura.

Praised by The New York Times as a guitarist who “has begun to make waves” and a musician who has “exploratory yet melodic sensibilities, serious compositional ambitions, and cohesive looseness against complex subtleties,” guitarist Scott DuBois has spent the last fifteen years performing internationally at jazz clubs and festivals. Scott moved from the Chicago area to New York City in 1996. During this time he has performed and recorded with musicians such as David Liebman, Tony Malaby, and Chris Potter while also obtaining his Masters of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music. Scott has received critical acclaim from such prestigious publications as The New York Times, Jazz Times, All About Jazz, and Cadence Magazine as well as many other publications in The United States and Europe for his individual style of playing and composing. The Scott DuBois Quartet began in 2000, performing Scott's original compositions. In 2002, Scott DuBois recorded his debut CD Monsoon for the Soul Note record label. The same group recorded their second CD Tempest in June of 2005, also released on the Soul Note label.
