Christian Scott - Yesterday You Said Tomorrow
Christian Scott .:|:. Yesterday You Said Tomorrow – [Concord Jazz, 2010]
When trumpeter Christian Scott was growing up in New Orleans in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, his grandfather gave him and his brother Kiel extra reading assignments each week as a supplement to their assigned schoolwork.
