TEACHING

That child’s answer perfectly mirror’s Scott’s passion to use her art to make the world a better place; whether she’s touring the Motherland, Asia or South America, or on her splendid recordings – all self-produced and released on her own Ttocslabel from 2000 to 2009: I Just Want to Know, Boom Boom: Live in Japan with Norman Simmons Trio, Al La Carte: Live at Birdland, Storytelling: Live at Birdland, and Dream for One Bright World, which Roger Boykin of “Just Jazz” on  Dallas’ KKDA-AM, wrote, “with the release of this CD, Cynthia Scott has found her true groove, telling stories that can only be told with original words and music. The songs are slices of life, done with power, conviction, and soul, revealing creativity and versatility….”

Those magnificent stories, along with her scintillating stage presence, and – most importantly, her undying commitment in trying to heal the world through her artistry – makes Cynthia Scott one of our world’s most precious artistic and cultural treasures, and universally praised musicians of this generation. David “Fathead” Newman got it right when he said that, “Cynthia Scott is a master at lighting up a stage. Style, sophistication, and spunk: She’s got it all!”  She does indeed!
