Notes Queen of the Organ
Shirley Scott, One for Me. Released on Strata East (SES 7430), 1974.
Shirley Scott’s One For Me has recently found its way to my stereo and I couldn’t be happier than a duck in water. A supreme being of the jazz organ and piano, Scott shines on this release, which also features Harold Vick, Billy Higgins and Jimmy Hopps. Although she has an extensive discography, I dare say this is my favourite album of the lot. I cannot resist to be consumed by the rich chords with lingering notes and evocative melodies. The music is sensitive; at the same instance it’s incredibly sexy (kudos to Vick on the tenor sax). Aside from the superb musicianship, Scott also produced the album and wrote the liner notes.
