Shirley Scott (piano)
Arthur Harper (bass)
Mickey Roker (drums)
Shirley Scott is equally at home on organ or piano, but her pianistic light was hidden under a bushel for many years, such was her popularity as one of the most original of jazz organists.
She has appeared on a number of other people's albums in the role of pianist, but this Candid set marks her debut as a leader of a piano trio. Shirley is full of admiration and praise of the other two thirds of this working trio (Arthur Harper on bass and Mickey Roker on drums).
The love, care and experience of the threesome is evident in the spontaneous feel that abounds and in the thoughtfully attractive arrangements. This CD reveals is the musical firm of Scott, Harper and Roker tells it the way it should be. Trios don't come much more hip than this one!

Recent trio session with Scott and Arthur Harper (b) and Mickey Roker (d). The twist is that Scott is playing acoustic piano throughout. It's not the usual sound, but she can play that thing.

Shirley Scott
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s
Born: Mar 14, 1934 in Philadelphia, PA
Died: Mar 10, 2002
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Soul-Jazz, Hard Bop
An admirer of the seminal Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott has been one of the organ's most appealing representatives since the late '50s. Scott, a very melodic and accessible player, started out on piano and played trumpet in high school before taking up the Hammond B-3 and enjoying national recognition in the late '50s with her superb Prestige dates with tenor sax great Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Especially popular was their 1958 hit "In the Kitchen." Her reputation was cemented during the '60s on several superb, soulful organ/soul-jazz dates where she demonstrated an aggressive, highly rhythmic attack blending intricate bebop harmonies with bluesy melodies and a gospel influence, punctuating everything with great use of the bass pedals. Scott married soul-jazz tenor man Stanley Turrentine, with whom she often recorded in the '60s. The ScottTurrentine union lasted until the early '70s, and their musical collaborations in the '60s were among the finest in the field. Scott wasn't as visible the following decade, when the popularity of organ combos decreased and labels were more interested in fusion and pop-jazz (though she did record some albums for ChessCadet and Strata East). But organists regained their popularity in the late '80s, which found her recording for Muse. Though known primarily for her organ playing, Scott is also a superb pianist -- in the 1990s, she played piano exclusively on some trio recordings for Candid, and embraced the instrument consistently in Philly jazz venues in the early part of the decade. At the end of the '90s, Scott's heart was damaged by the diet drug combination, fen-phen, leading to her declining health. In 2000 she was awarded $8 million in a lawsuit against the manufacturers of the drug. On March 10, 2002 she died of heart failure at Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia.
