About the album

New York composer, trombonist & alto flugelhornist Scott Reeves' Jazz Orchestra has been hard at work since 2008, but it was only in 2016 with the release of the group's debut recording, "Portraits and Places," that a wider audience was offered a peek at Reeves' broad and sophisticated talents. With outstanding New York musicians, including saxophonists Steve Wilson and Tim Armacost, pianist Jim Ridl and vocalist Carolyn Leonhart, Scott's music offers an inspired approach to big band writing, combining a contemporary harmonic palette and non-traditional forms with infectious, swinging grooves and great soloing by world-class jazz artists. "Without a Trace" features arrangements of standards such as Kurt Weill's "Speak Low," and "All or Nothing At All," along with Wayne Shorter's "Juju", and then four Reeves originals, including "Something for Thad," a tribute to the great Thad Jones. "...a keen ear for melody, harmony and counterpoint...his compositions are sophisticated yet accessible, his arrangements scrupulously burnished and invariably engaging." - ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
Das Jazz Orchestra des New Yorker Komponisten, Posaunisten und Alt-Flügelhornisten Scott Reeves arbeitet intensiv seit 2008, aber erst 2016, mit der Veröffentlichung der Debütaufnahme "Portraits and Places" wurde einem breiteren Publikum ein Einblick in Reeves' breitgefächerte und anspruchsvollen Talente geboten. Mit herausragenden New Yorker Musikern, darunter die Saxophonisten Steve Wilson und Tim Armacost, der Pianist Jim Ridl und die Sängerin Carolyn Leonhart, bietet Scott's Musik eine inspirierte Annäherung an das Big-Band Thema, indem er eine zeitgenössische harmonische Palette und unkonventionelle Formen mit ansteckenden, swingenden Grooves und großartigen Solos von Weltklasse-Jazz-Künstlern verbindet.
