Checking in No. 7: Scott Clark

Checking in No. 7 features a conversation with Richmond-based drummer and composer Scott W. Clark. Scott often draws on his Native American heritage to create challenging and poignant music. His style is avant-garde and owes something to the work of Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and other forward thinking musicians. He discusses his journey into jazz, his compositional influences and how the pandemic has impacted his life and music. He also shares his thoughts about the protests that took hold after the death of George Floyd. Our conversation was recorded on June 18.

About Jazz with Peter Solomon

“Jazz has a recorded history that goes back almost one-hundred years and when I program music I try to reflect the full scope of that history. That means everything from current experimental artists to more traditional mainstream jazz groups. I strive to include a variety of styles and instrumentations - small group, big band and solo performances, vocals and instrumentals, Bebop, classic swing, Latin rhythms, funk, and free form.”
