Mile 41, the latest studio recording by one of Canada's finest Jazz singers is very much like a road trip. From straight ahead jazz to the avant garde and calling upon Scott's love and knowlege of funk, pop and blues  this CD represents all that makes this singer truly great. It's like a travelogue through all different regions, or genres, but is made cohesive by the fine musicians who play on this recording. Jennifer Scott has performed with Jazz legends like: Clark Terry, Gene Bertoncini, Don Thompson & Tommy Banks, to name but a few. 

Her selection of material is impeccable here  gems from the Great Canadian Songbook (Case Of You, Hallelujah), bass/vocal duets of instrumental tunes done vocalese-style (Whims Of Chambers, Armando's Rhumba), great standards (Why Don't You Do Right, Just In Time)  even an Elvis tune (Clean Up Your Own Backyard)! Scott proves, once again, that there are few that can improvise with as much melodic and harmonic skill, her reading of a ballad is also a delight. This recording also features multi-reedist/flautist Tom Keenlyside, Rene Worst on Bass and Drummer, Bernie Arai.  http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jenniferscott6
