Kendrick Scott Oracle -Conviction (Concord Jazz 2013)

Kendrick Scott Oracle releases its second recording, Conviction, which showcases Kendrick Scott's incredible subtlety and intensity and highlights his strengths as a drummer, composer and a leader.

 “A true virtuoso, Scott is the rare drummer who can exploit the whole kit in one song without sounding contrived…Even with his intensity, Scott managed to make every tune feel like a meditation.”
- Michael J West, Washington Post

“There’s a deep glow to “Conviction”, a new offering by the expressive drummer Kendrick Scott and his band Oracle…Oracle consists of improvisers as fluent and perceptive as he is: John Ellis on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet, Mike Moreno on guitar, Taylor Eigsti on acoustic and Fender Rhodes piano, and Joe Sanders on bass.”
-Nate Chinen, New York Times
