Richard Scott is a true eccentric- one of those rare guitarists whose
gifts defy the generic boundaries assigned to his art. Scott, 35, is a
guitarist and luthier who cites a broad base of influences spanning
from Primus bassist Les Claypool to flamenco guitarist Carlos Montoya.
But Scott's musical vision is deeply rooted in blues, and even his most
polished and studied compositions retain the unsettled and suspenseful
qualities of roots music at its rawest.
Scott has lived most of his life in rural Lee County, Virginia. Though
he has included some bluegrass jams in live performance, Scott's music
typically bears no resemblance to the mountain and ballad style
associated with the region. His eclectic repertoire includes
traditional and electric style blues, Latin and modal jazz, raggae,
avant garde funk-jazz fusion, and improvisional flights of fancy that
defy categorization. His often startling challenges to the instrument's
sonic possibilities are created by the use of alternate tunings and
custom hand-made eight string guitars that employ a combination of
guitar and bass strings along with stereo effects and amping.
Scott has played guitar in a variety of bands including Electric
Roadkill, Low Diamond, Boogie with Stu / Blue Karma, a very brief
incarnation of Darrel Garnett and the
Horizontal Blues Band, and
a few small jazz groups at Virginia Tech, one including Jennifer
Turner, later to play guitar with Natalie Merchant's Tigerlilly band,
Furslide, Perry Ferrel and Inner, on piano. In 1994 Scott formed the
first incarnation of the Richard Scott group with Wally Robbins of the
Horizontal Blues Band on drums. Since then, the Richard Scott Group has
included: Keith Brown (backed junior Marvin, Abyssinians, Grammy
co-winner Chip McNeil); UNC Asheville professor of percussion Byron
Hedgepeth (Judy Collins, David Wilcox) private percussion instructor
Chad Blackburn of Johnson City Tennessee; Kimani Powell, a jazz drummer
from Long Island; drum clinician, private drum instructor, studio
drummer
for Corrosion of Conformity and gig drummer for Chuck Fold's Rubber
Band, Merrit
Partridge of Raleigh, North Carolina; Stewart Gunther
(Everything, Full Stop Reggae, studio for Grammy winners Robin &
Linda Williams w/Mary Chapin Carpenter) of Charlottesville, VA; Cliff
Wallace (North Carolina Central University Jazz Orchestra) of Durham,
NC; Dave
Franz, a Chemistry graduate
student living in Blacksburg, Virginia at the time; Chris, of Bean
Station, TN; and Tim Taylor of
The Kind, Zookeeper, Rubicon Crossing, the Electric Woodshed, among
others.
