Batik In Blue, the latest album by Scott Cooper, is a beautiful blend of jazz, blues, and soulful rhythms. Cooper's guitar playing is exceptional, and he is supported by a talented group of musicians who add depth and texture to the music.
The album opens with the title track, "Batik In Blue," a slow and sultry tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The next few tracks, such as "Blues for Laura" and "Bebop Betty," showcase Cooper's technical prowess and his ability to seamlessly blend genres.
The album also features some standout vocal performances, such as on "Love Letters," where guest vocalist Sarah Vaughan adds a touch of elegance to the track. The instrumental tracks, such as "The Bounce" and "Pentatonic Playground," are equally impressive and demonstrate Cooper's versatility as a musician.
