Christian Scott is an American jazz musician from New Orleans, Louisiana who graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 2004.[1] He currently leads a modern jazz ensemble of his own name.
The trumpeter is known for his warm tone and ability to make "round, fuzzy"[2] notes that sound unlike a trumpet. Scott produced and released his debut album Rewind That on March 28, 2006, on Concord Records.[2][3]
His second album, Anthem (released August 28, 2007), was inspired by Hurricane Katrina's effect on New Orleans.[4]
Christian Scott is the nephew of the great jazz alto saxophonist Donald Harrison Jr.[1]
