Recording of the Week, Kendrick Scott, 'Corridors'

10th March 2023

The American drummer and composer scales his band back to a trio - featuring Walter Smith III and Reuben Rogers - on a set of groovy originals on his latest studio album.

Drummer and composer Kendrick Scott presents 'Corridors', a striking album that finds the Houston-born drummer and composer paring down to a trio featuring saxophonist Walter Smith III and bassist Reuben Rogers. The anticipated follow-up to 'A Wall Becomes A Bridge', Scott's much-lauded 2019 release with his band Oracle, 'Corridors' features eight original compositions and one new arrangement of a beloved tune from the Bobby Hutcherson canon. Born during lockdown, the record focuses on posing outward questions instead of inward contemplation.

Reviews

April 2023

The exposed nature of the format is a very different proposition from Oracle's soft-focus moods built around richly-layered harmonies for piano and guitar. But Scott is well up to the task and offers colourful textural detail as well as a deep, dark-centred pulse in his playing.
