26 Christian Scott<br />

Shows His Teeth | By Jennifer Odell<br />

Christian Scott’s appreciation for the ability of music to tell stories and to make<br />

social commentary is rare. The trumpeter’s company, like his music, has a comfortable<br />

intensity to it—an easy warmth that wins you over even when he’s on a<br />

mission to change your mind about something. Though gracious and polite,<br />

Scott presents his point of view with the same confident authority he puts into<br />

his live shows. And even when what he says rubs folks the wrong way, his honest<br />

expression comes with a grain of erudite salt.<br />
