Jazz Rock
Scott also helped change the sound of the cross-pollination genre known as Jazz Rock or Progressive Jazz, adding a much harder edge rock sound (especially to the drums) to albums like Mahavishnu Orchestra’s Birds of Fire, Visions of the Emerald Beyond and The Lost Trident Tapes, Billy Cobham’s Spectrum, Crosswinds, Total Eclipse, and Shabazz, Stanley Clarke’s Stanley Clarke and School Days, and Jeff Beck’s There And Back.
Although not strictly jazz nor progressive rock, he also worked with the southern fusion band The Dixie Dregs (What if and Night of the Living Dregs) and the symphonic progressive band Happy The Man (Happy The Man and Crafty Hands).

Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or rock:
“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”

“The acorn’s not yet
Fallen from the tree
That’s to grow the wood,
That’s to make the cradle,
That’s to rock the bairn,
That’s to grow a man,
That’s to lay me.”
