Recorded: March 3-5, 1969 and October 17-19, 1972, Atlantic Recording Studios, New York, New York
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Scott recorded some sessions for Atlantic that were either withdrawn from the market for legal reasons, or unissued entirely. Lost and Found couples five unreleased songs from a 1972 session with five tracks that were originally included on the 1969 LP The Source (which was available only briefly). Top talents like Richard Davis, Billy Cobham, Eric Gale, Junior Mance, and Ron Carter back Scott on these ballad standards, which are augmented by string sections. Scott's higher-pitched Ray Charles style (which sounds to most like a woman rather than a man) is in good form here, though the relentlessly slow tempos can enervate, and the routine choice of material is on the staid side.
