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).

“There’s more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that’s because the audience doesn’t really know what’s happening.”

“All the junk that goes with being human
Drops away, hard rock wavers
Even the heavy present seems to fail
This bubble of a heart.”
