Tom Scott 'wowes" em' with funky jazz-rock act by david marcham and brent siewert Excitement filled Bryan Aud , Friday night as Saxophonist Tom Scott and Guitarist Steve Kahn and their back-up band wowed one near-capacity and another sold-out house, A well-paced show with many songs off the two artists' new albums gave the enthusiastic audience just what they came to hear - contemporary jazz (also know as jazz-rock fusion, or more simply, good music) with a decidedly funky edge. "Jazzman," a Carole King-penned hit of a few year's back, opened the performance, Scott mentioned, "I'm 'not bragging, but I just happened to be the sax player on that song." Next was "Dirty Old Man" where Steve Kahn was given his first of many opportunities to solo. Tom's trademark funky sax style was also featured on these tunes. The less-known rhythm section of Russ Farrante on keyboards, Ron Ashton on drums and Jim Haslip on bass were introduced. They were ready to prove they were more than just a rhythm section as the evening progressed. "New York Connection," the title cut from Scott's 1975 release, followed with some nice soprano sax and a beautiful Ferrante keyboard solo, "Breezin' Easy," from Scott's latest, "Intimate Strangers," and "Daily Poles," off Kahn's recent "Blue Man," were next, Parts one and two of Scott's ambitious suite, from the first side of "Strangers," comprised the next section, "High Step- ping." was exactly as the title implies with the trademarked sax alto leading the way and fading with the last high note, before slipping into "Lost Inside the Love Of You," Tenor sax set the mood for an electric guitar solo that utilized a dirty tonal quality with too much volume and too many notes for the tender song. Kahn's technical command of the guitar is not to be disputed and he plays in a distinctly John McLaughlin-'70's guitar style, with lightning-quid; scale runs and many notes. From part two of the suite, "Getaway," was brought down by soprano sax for an excellent transition, Quiet, funky guitar chord changes and Haslip's dramatic, striding entrance brought the crowd and the band alive on "Night Crawlers." The mellow "Shadows" from "Blow It Out" allowed Kahn to exhibit his versatility and virtuosity on acoustic guitar. Scott provided good counterpoint with soprano sax, Steve mimicked his guitar voicing with his vocal chords, akin to the style of George Benson's introduction on "This Masquerade." The show-stopper was Kahn's "Some Funk Punk," already documented on two earlier releases. Besides fine guitar work, it showcased a popping drum-alto sax duet. This brought the .More than 1,400people saw Tom Scott chairman Robin Goodrich.
