Scott DuBois - Landscape Scripture (2012)

Guitarist Scott DuBois has made a concerted effort to create a focused ensemble with a sound custom fit for his emotive compositional voice. He has found the perfect foils in reed player Gebhard Ullmann, bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Kresten Osgood. These masterful musicians are featured on his new Sunnyside CD Landscape Scripture , which also includes a suite inspired by the legendary painter Claude Monet s series of haystack paintings. The impressive program is usually brazen, occasionally discreet but always openhearted. Landscape Scripture is a brilliant work of art that touches the soul. - Jazz Times, Steve Greenlee, May 2012 Capturing subtleties in lighting, temperature and texture, DuBois aural interpretations of Monet s varied canvases convey the rising potential of spring, the celebratory warmth of summer, the wistful melancholy of autumn and the meditative calm of winter, in all their multihued glory…a brilliant transposition of another artist s visualizations into pure sound. - All About Jazz, Troy Collins, March 2012
