Scott has always been a perfectionist,and this album is another gem in her admirable collection of jewels.
She is one of the most consistent and gifted jazz vocalists on the market,sometimes a little overlooked,compare to the too hype,too lucky and too overexposed acts such as Diana Krall,Natalie Cole,Peter Cincotti and the glamourous cover- girls Jane Monheit and Tierney Sutton.
Her phrasing is just superb and soulful,the songs are perfectly
delivered,the feelings are heartfelt and beautifully expressed.
The production,well,the production is simply brilliant. It"s another fantastic project by the only and one George Duke who has literally outdone himself in two spectacular productions in a row, this one with Marilyn and ,few months ago, with the latest offering from the incomparable Regina Belle, the magnificent,sumptuous masterpiece "Lazy Afternoon".
Here,with George "Midas" Duke"s help,everything shines as solid gold.
George,you are a Genius and the number ONE among the jazz pianists, arrangers and producers.
And you ,Marilyn,you are just great !!

Scott got her start performing locally at age 15. She went to college in San Francisco, singing in both jazz and pop ensembles there. She was noticed by Emilio Castillo, a member of Tower of Power, who hired her to do backing vocals for the group. This led to further work as a session musician in Los Angeles, working with Spyro Gyra, The Yellowjackets, Hiroshima, Etta James, and Bobby Womack. She also appeared in a production of Selma, about the life of Martin Luther King, Jr..
Scott's first single was a cover of Brian Wilson's "God Only Knows", which was a hit in the U.S. and was followed with the 1979 full-length Dreams of Tomorrow. Her 1991 release Without Warning was critically acclaimed among jazz writers.Her duet with Bobby Caldwell, "Sky Dancing", was a hit in Japan, and she toured that country following its success.
She signed with Warner Bros. Records in 1996 for the album Take Me With You, which featured Dori Caymmi, George Duke, Russell Ferrante, Ricardo Silvera, Boney James, Bob James, and Jimmy Haslip.
