The record
A pianist-composer better known for pop hits and songwriting turns to the trio format here, trading keys with Michel Legrand while Mundell Lowe's guitar keeps things conversational. Mercury gave Scott room to stretch as both player and arranger, a rare small-group date from a musician who spent most of his career behind the scenes.
