Christian Scott: Christian aTunde Adjuah
Concord
A nifty Integra moment captures trumpeter Christian Scott running spy boy in fully feathered Mardi Gras Indian regalia. The grandson of Big Chief Donald Harrison, the great New Orleans saxophonist, Scott, 29, plays with identity and/or politics throughout Christian aTunde Adjuah, a formidable statement of a double album. Scott has a different trumpet sound for every emotion, from the pinched Miles tone of the coolly defiant “Who They Wish I Was” to the full-throated declaration of “Pyrrhic Victory of attuned Adjoin.” There’s beauty and danger in both “Danziger,” a ten-minute meditation on the post-Katrina police massacre, and “Trayvon,” a deft melodic sketch of what it means to be young and black in contemporary Florida.
