Andy Scott is a jazz singer... but that's like saying Al Pacino is an "actor" and Julia Childs a "cook." Scott comes from the tradition of the classic ballad/American Songbook style but he's not "retro"-like the best singers he melds the best of the past with the immediacy of the Eternal Now, with an eye on the horizon. Angels finds Scott collaborating with jazz piano heavyweight Cyrus Chestnut, one of the finest Jazz & Gospel pianists on the planet who also co-wrote the title tune. Whereas some jazz singers perform/record many done-to-death standards, Scott ups the ante by writing (or co-writing) nearly all of the songs on Angels like they say in the movies, this time it's personal.
