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:
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
““O what unlucky streak
Twisting inside me, made me break the line?
What was the rock my gliding childhood struck,
And what bright unreal path has led me here?””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
