Product Description
The new release from saxophonist Randy Scott is a tour de force. Breathe has unforgettable melodies,
"radio-ready" feel, and emotional performances that combine to show Randy Scott at his best. A producer, composer, and musician proficient on all musical instruments, Randy is also the saxophonist for chart topping smooth jazz guitarist Tim Bowman. His collaboration with Tim on the single Bliss is sure to be termed a hit. Randy has performed or recorded with Hiroshima, Nancy Wilson, Marion Meadows, Norman Brown, Grover Washington, Jr., Will Downing, Ronnie Laws, Najee, Kirk Franklin, and many other artists on almost every major record label. Randy Scott is a three-time winner of nationally-televised It's Showtime at the Apollo, winner of the Cognac Hennesy Jazz Search, and protégé of the late Grover Washington, Jr.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a deep breath..., July 12, 2007

By	Sterling Russell (Southfield, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...and plunge right into this awesome cd by Randy Scott. Like Paul Taylor? Walter Beasley? Good music? You must hear this, buy this, download this into your everyday ipod, in your car, in your system music. From Breathe, to Bliss, to probably the best rendition of Mo' Better Blues (the 2nd best thing about the movie -Denzel, #1 - is this cut and Randy's version is pure and perfect) I have ever heard, this cd shows that Mr. Scott is a soulful, sax-savvy brotha who needs to be heard by those who like their jazz sweet and smooth and musically on point. You have to hear this. And Breathe.

5.0 out of 5 stars SmoothJazz.com Review, August 31, 2007

By	Sandy Shore (Monterey, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

BREATHE is the dynamic sax player's 4th album to date. His last release (WORDS UNSPOKEN) debuted in the Top 40 on the Smooth Jazz charts in 2002. This impressive player was the protégé of the late, great Grover Washington, Jr. who became his mentor and friend. There is no mystery as to why Grover felt a kindred spirit toward Randy Scott, as his craft is truly world class; he's an extraordinary player and composer. BREATHE is one of my personal favorites of 2007. You have to really `wow' me if you're a saxophonist simply due to the fact that there are so many sax players in this genre... Randy Scott totally wows me. I appreciate the effortlessness he exhibits on an album filled with super deep grooves. That ease alone is masterful. He is proficient on all musical instruments and has performed and recorded with such notables as Michael Powell, Norman Brown, Angela Bofield, Ronnie Laws, Marion Meadows and many others. I think it's important to also note that he is a three-time winner of the nationally televised, It's Showtime at the Apollo, and winner of the Hennessy Jazz Search. BREATHE kicks off with a funk and bang with the title track and jams onward from there. Highlight tracks for us include the first single "Bliss" featuring guitarist Tim Bowman, the smooth and breezy "Imagine This" showcasing Frank McComb on piano and the moving and melodic "Hope In Darkness." BREATHE is a breath of fresh air!

5.0 out of 5 stars SCOTT'S BEST CD YET, July 18, 2007

By	Thomas M. Marsh - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very well done and entertaining CD. I just purchased it about a week ago, and I absolutely love it. This is without a doubt, Randy Scott's best CD yet, and I believe he is definitely about to explode big time on the smooth jazz scene. I recommend it highly.
