Product Description

"On A Clear Day" by Shirley Scott is a captivating journey through the vibrant landscapes of soul jazz, hard bop, and acid jazz, released on January 1, 1966, under the GRP label. This 38-minute album is a testament to Scott's mastery of the organ and her ability to blend various jazz styles seamlessly.

The album opens with the title track, "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever," setting the tone for a collection that is both introspective and lively. Scott's rendition of standards like "What'll I Do" and "Corcovado" showcases her versatility and deep understanding of jazz traditions. Her original composition, "Instant Blues," adds a fresh and personal touch to the album.

Throughout the album, Scott is accompanied by a stellar lineup of musicians, creating a rich and dynamic sound that highlights her skills as a bandleader and composer.

Shirley Scott's Clear Day Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars
WrYegou17 June 2024United States🇺🇸
Out of the roughly two dozen Shirley Scott albums that have graced my ears, "ON A CLEAR DAY" stands tall as my absolute favorite. Unlike the typical organ trio lineup of organ/guitar/drums or organ/sax/drums, Scott's trio often featured organ/bass/drums, and this January 1966 session is no different, with Ron Carter on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Throughout this record, Scott's solos are a masterclass in her signature style—melodic, lightning-fast, and with a touch that's lighter yet just as commanding as her peers. This is an original 1966 pressing in stunning mono, boasting a rich bass, crisp and clear drums, a massive organ sound, and a warm, immersive soundstage. My copy plays like a dream, with barely any surface noise to be heard. Five stars and a big smiley face for this one!
