Kendrick Scott Oracle's piano jazz - accessible and sophisticated

"Oracle is a project that draws together strings from the past: the best fusion, the coolest modern jazz playing, influences from hip-hop and groove music, and a lyricism that shot through all the great American music... Kendrick Scott is a wonderful consolidator... His music is among the finest of its new kind: a new generation of contemporary jazz that is slick and funky without being vapid and "smooth", that is soulful and accessible but also sophisticated" - PopMatters reviews new album by American jazz drummer, bandleader, and composer Kendrick Scott and his band Oracle.
