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:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
“When the rock was hid by the surges’ swell,
The mariners heard the warning bell,
And then they knew the perilous rock,
And bless’d the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”
—Robert Southey (1774–1843)
