<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Scott Earl Holman with Ira Sullivan : " HE WILL BE IMMANUEL " ( crumblehead )</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>..... an all-star list of Chicago jazz musicians - including drummer Paul Wertico and guitarist John Moulder - it's no wonder this music piques the ear. These musicians improvise freely and poetically with Wertico's inventive drum work and Sullivan's flights on soprano saxophone and trumpet of particular interest. So this isn't holiday music to hum along with or tap your toe to - it's far to free ranging and exploratory for that......</strong></span></p>scottearlholman.comtag:scottearlholman.com,2005:Post/60240732013-09-18T19:00:00-05:002018-03-19T08:45:36-05:00Interview / MIKE JEFFERS<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392424/023c4628c6ba39ecdea86ccbffeda2dbf1d50669/original/ode-cover-final0001.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MjAweDE4MiJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="182" width="200" /></span></span></strong></span></span></p>

Larry Gray at the bass and Paul Wertico at the percussion celebrated jointly with Holman on "Faith And communication piano trio jazz pursuing the higher cause", touching, humanly, vulnerable and in a very personal statement of the participants. Only slightly over three hours that three were in the studio, without samples, without arrangements, without any preproduction, however in the confidence on the intuitive power of mutual listening. The determination "This is jazz for the next century" is carried in no way presumptuously – the deep authenticity of the music wipes every suspicion relating to this aside...

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #888888;"> Der Pianist Scott Earl Holman lebt nach zwanzig Jahren in Miami seit 1990 in Chicago, trägt als Musiker und Organisator einen guten Teil zur dortigen Szene bei. Mit seiner ersten Studio-CD seit der hochgelobten kürzlich wieder veröffentlichten 1997er Scheibe „Don’t Wake The Kids“ bleibt er den leisen Tönen treu. Gemeinsam mit Larry Gray am Bass und Paul Wertico am Schlagzeug zelebriert Holman auf „Faith And Works“ komunikativen Pianotrio-Jazz der Extraklasse, berührend, menschlich, verletzlich und in sehr persönlichem Statement der Beteiligten. Nur knapp über drei Stunden waren die drei im Studio, ohne Proben, ohne Absprachen, ohne Vorproduktion, allein im Vertrauen auf die intuitive Kraft gegenseitigen Zuhörens. Die Feststellung „This is jazz for the next century“ ist keineswegs überheblich – allein die tiefe Authentizität der Musik wischt jeden diesbezüglichen Verdacht sacht beiseite – sondern von der hoffentlich berechtigten Überzeugung getragen, dass Zeit der Marktschreier nicht mehr lange währen kann.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Tobias Böcker for Jazz Podium, Germany</span></span></p>scottearlholman.comtag:scottearlholman.com,2005:Post/60240682009-05-25T19:00:00-05:002018-03-19T08:39:55-05:00Jazz Showcase<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392424/d05da3189c5ba5d849b5b1cc520baa73bcba763d/original/showcase-960-x-210-654x277.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NjAweDI1NCJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="254" width="600" /></p>

Scott you have definitely produced an incredible companion to your first cd we received. "Faith And Works" is a broody, moody master piece of exploratory Jazz. Adventurous and extremely engaging, ably led by your exquisite piano, add to that Larry Gray and Paul Wertico and we have an electric combination exploring the boundaries Then redefining them. At times time stood still and notes were suspended in space adding to the tension and emotion of this cd, all in all a brilliant cd. Bravo on a wonderfully stylish album.

This is a great CD that was recorded in 3 hours of trio Dec.3, '08. I'm very happy to be joined by 7 time grammy award winner Paul Wertico on drums and world renowned bassist Larry Gray. We played together for the first time as a trio without a rehearsal and it sounds like we've be playing together for years.If you are a drummer or a bass player there is alot to sink your teeth into on these trio takes. Larry is on 'Live @ Delaney & Murphy's' with me. And I played with Paul before, but never the three of us.The piano streams (spontaneous compositions)were laid down about an hour before Paul & Larry got to the studio. We actually hit our first note about 9:50 pm and were done at 1am.
I decided to add some synth strings to the trio ballad and that delayed the release somewhat.
Once again Steve Yates Recording Studio , great sound.scottearlholman.comtag:scottearlholman.com,2005:Post/60240542007-11-08T18:00:00-06:002018-03-10T18:27:07-06:00New Review from Germany<p>Thankyou to Carina Prange in Germany @ JAZZ DIMENSIONS .

<p class="autor"><span><strong><span>Carina Prange _ Jazz Dimensions (Germany) _</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="autor"><span><strong><span>..... evoking atmospheric change through small shades. Whether it concerns trio pieces or solo piano- excursions like "The Thought", it's always clear: Holman is a master of the small, fine tones. One that delicately interweaves stories knows, what it has to say and yet must never raise the voice. The natural authority makes it speak. This album is an exceptional, subtle work. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="einleitung"><span><strong><span>Die Vorstellung, diese Musik würde live und ganz leise irgendwo im Wohnzimmer gespielt, während ein Stockwerk drüber die Kinder schlafen, hat was. Und tatsächlich, hier muss man nicht die Lautstärke am CD-Player unnötig aufdrehen: die Eigenkompositionen des in Chicago lebenden Mannes aus Pittsburgh, PA wirken auch, wenn sie ganz leise erklingen.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong><span>Denn Pianist und Komponist <span>Scott Earl Hamilton</span> versteht sich – hier gemeinsam mit dem ausgezeichneten Bassisten <span>Pawel Jarzebski</span> und dem filigran aufspielenden Drummer <span>Rusty Jones</span> – darauf, durch kleine Nuancen atmosphärischen Wandel hervorzurufen. Ob es sich dabei um Triostücke oder Pianosolo-Ausflüge wie "The Thought" handelt, stets ist klar: <span>Holman</span> ist ein Meister der kleinen, feinen Töne. Einer, der zart verwobene Geschichten erzählt, weiß, was er zu sagen hat und doch niemals die Stimme erheben muss. Die natürliche Autorität macht es aus – sozusagen.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong><span><span>Holman</span> lebte knapp zwanzig Jahre in Miami und schrieb für die wöchentliche Children's Show "Arthur and Company" die Musik. Es kommt also ganz und gar nicht von ungefähr, dass "Don't Wake The Kids" mit diesem Coverbild Kinder magisch anziehen dürfte und der Bezug zu den jungen, kleinen Menschen gegeben ist. Dieses Album ist ein herausragendes, feinsinniges Werk.</span></strong></span></p>
