«Those interested in the future direction that jazz music is likely to take should check out Rewind That.»
«This album features Scott’s interplay of music and storytelling, using the actual instruments of course but also the song titles themselves to create a package of tunes that sound like the score for a collection of short stories or miniature films.» Quentin B. Huff March 2006
«Christian Scott’s debut album, Rewind That, shows him to be a striking trumpeter–the breathy tone he often uses, so tenuous it can resemble a flute, stands out in an ensemble, and he shows a natural knack for phrasing, whether playing quietly or brassily.» Andrew Lindemann Malone April 2006
«Rewind That is a product of everything imaginable in jazz. As a derivative of fusion, Scott has embraced hip-hop rhythms, soulful melodic grooves and harmonic nuances to bind with an improvisational standard seldom seen coming from an artist of his years. His music has a built-in simplicity about it, whereby even the most complex note structures are easily assimilated into the realm of intuitive acceptance His laid back style of play creates a sense of sanctuary in an environment where jazz is often too commercial and seldom very cerebral.» jazzreview.com Sheldon T. Nunn March 2006. (Via Wikipedia)
